Refreshing external resources periodically

[Debbie Zhang <de...@gmail.com>]

Hi UIMA users,

I have a question regarding accessing external resources. If my external resource file is the output of a database table, the data are updated daily. Can I read the resource file daily as well and update my annotations accordingly? I deploy my pear to elsewhere. At the moment, resource files are included in the pear file so no refresh can be done. Any suggestion is very welcome. Thank you.

Regards,

Debbie

Thanks, Peter.

My mistake, but I guess I won't reply-to-all with an apology since I've spammed the community enough today ;).

Regards
Jochen

Hi Debbie,

I think this depends on what kind of external resource you have.  Are you able
to see what Java class is implementing the external resource?  For instance, I'm
guessing you must at some point in your code have some code that says something
like:

myResource.myMethodToGetDataFromIt(...).

If you have that, you can see if the class implementing myResource has a method
you could call to reload itself.  If it does, then you could build a little
timer application that went off once a day, and called that api, perhaps with
some synchronization...

Does this help, or have I misunderstood things? -Marshall
