Hi all,
I'm trying to make a simple function which take an annotation and a Type
and print all the value associated with all the feature present in the Type.
This is the recursive function:
public void printTypeSystem(Type uimaType, Annotation annotation, int
level){
String levelString="\t";
for (int i=0; i<level; ++i)
levelString += "\t";
List <Feature> feauturesList = uimaType.getFeatures();
if(level == 1)
System.out.println("T.S. = "+uimaType.getName());
for(int i=0; i<feauturesList.size(); ++i){
Feature feature = (Feature) feauturesList.get(i);
String nameFeat = feature.getName();
if(!nameFeat.startsWith("uima.")){
Type typeRange = feature.getRange();
if(typeRange.isPrimitive()){
String value =
annotation.getFeatureValueAsString(feature);
System.out.println(levelString+"F: "+nameFeat+" =
"+" V: "+value);
}
else{
System.out.println(levelString+"F: "+nameFeat+" =
"+" TS: "+typeRange.getName());
printTypeSystem(typeRange, annotation, level+1);
}
}
}
}
The problem is that I'm able to print only the values associated with
the "first level" of features (when they are primitive). If for example
a Type has a feature that as a value as another Type (the else in the
source code) when I do annotation.getFeatureValueAsString(feature) to
print the values associated with the feature of this "inside" Type all I
get is an empty String (not an error or a null value).
Is there a problem in my code or the error is somewhere else?
Thanks
Andrea Turbati
