Package org.apache.uima.analysis_engine.annotator

The Annotator Interfaces, along with supporting interfaces and exception classes.

The annotator interfaces are as follows:

• BaseAnnotator: the base interface for all annotators. Annotators should not implement this directly.
• GenericAnnotator: an annotator that can process any type of entity.
• TextAnnotator: an annotator that processes text documents.
• JTextAnnotator: similar to TextAnnotator, but uses the Java-object-based JCas interface instead of the standard CAS interface.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
AnnotatorConfigurationException	An AnnotatorConfigurationException is thrown by an annotator if the settings of its configuration parameters are invalid.
AnnotatorContextException	An AnnotatorContextException is thrown by an AnnotatorContext if it cannot complete the invoked operation due to a failure in the underlying implementation.
AnnotatorInitializationException	An AnnotatorInitializationException may be thrown by an annotator's initialize method, indicating that the annotator failed to successfully initialize itself.
