Possibly a bug in subiterator

[Hannes Korte <ha...@iais.fraunhofer.de>]

Hi,

I noticed a strange behavior of the annotation index subiterator in
uimaj 2.2.2 and 2.3.0.

Consider the sentence: 'Testing the UIMA-Framework'
with tokens: 'Testing' 'the' 'UIMA-Framework'
and the named entity: 'UIMA'

The type priorities list NamedEntity on top of the Token type.

If I call the Token subiterator for the NamedEntity 'UIMA' with
strict=false, I get an empty result. According to the docs, the
definition of Tokens contained in the NamendEntity is in the
strict=false setting defined as:

  annot.getBegin() <= b.getBegin() <= annot.getEnd()

for NamedEntity annot and Token b. This is true for 'UIMA' and
'UIMA-Framework', but the subiterator is empty.

If I change the NamedEntity to ' UIMA' (including the preceeding space),
then it works correctly, and the Token 'UIMA-Framework' is contained in
the subiterator.

I appended a simple java class with all needed files to demonstrate the
problem. Any ideas?

Best regards,
Hannes

Hi,

thanks for reporting this.  Please open a JIRA issue and
