Hi,
I did it. I've my version of analysisEngine:
public class IocPrimitiveAnalysisEngine extends AnalysisEngineImplBase
implements AnalysisEngine {
public void setAnalysisComponent(AnalysisComponent analysisComponent) {
mAnalysisComponent = analysisComponent;
}
}
To build it i wrote some Spring FactoryBeans.
So you can configure Annotators this way:
<bean name="regExpTokenizer-0"
class="uima.bean.CasProcessorFactoryBean" parent="baseAnnotator">
<property name="component">
<bean class="uima.annotators.language.RegExpTokenizer"
parent="baseCasProcessor">
<property name="resourcesPattern"
value="commandsTokenizer_${key}.xml" /> <!--- a String--->
<property name="fileRepo" ref="fileSystem" />
<!--- a reference to
a bean--->
</bean>
</property>
</bean>
or in javaconfig:
@Bean
@Lazy
public RegExpTokenizer regExpTokenizer() throws Exception {
RegExpTokenizer tokenizer = new RegExpTokenizer();
tokenizer.setResourcesPattern("commandsTokenizer_${key}.xml");
tokenizer.setFileRepo(fileSystemRepository);
tokenizer.setApplications(applications);
tokenizer.initialize(UimaContextFactory.createUimaContext(null));
return tokenizer;
}
public AnalysisEngine createAnalysisEngine(AnalysisComponent
component) throws Exception {
CasProcessorFactoryBean fc = new CasProcessorFactoryBean();
fc.setBeanName(component.getClass().getSimpleName());
fc.setComponent(component);
fc.setTypeSystem(TypeSystemDescriptionFactory.createTypeSystemDescription("completeTypeSystem"));
fc.afterPropertiesSet();
AnalysisEngine analysisEngine = (AnalysisEngine) fc.getObject();
return analysisEngine;
}
The factory bean (internals) :
//create programmatically a descriptor
AnalysisEngineDescription desc = createAnalysisDescriptor();
//create engine
AnalysisEngine engine = new IocPrimitiveAnalysisEngine();
((IocPrimitiveAnalysisEngine)
engine).setAnalysisComponent(component);
//initialize
engine.initialize(desc, null);
I want to release this, but at the moment there are too many
dependency to internal code.
Pros:
- casProcessors, consumers and reader are POJO:
- can use spring
- seamless your business logic: db access, internal api
- easy to test and inject mocks
cons:
- no different classloader (no PEAR)
- maybe lack of other functionality, which I don't use :)
Now, with uimafit, it would be interesting to merge my feature with Fit.
Simply I don't have time :(
