[jira] [Resolved] (UIMA-5793) FSUtil.getFeature fails when called
with Object.class on multi-valued features
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5793?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Richard Eckart de Castilho resolved UIMA-5793.
----------------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
* Support retrieving values using Object as class
* Also support various additional ways of retrieving feature values using suitable target types
* Added more tests

> When FSUtil.getFeature(fs, feature, type) is called on a feature that is multi-valued and type is Object, then the method fails with a message like
> {noformat}
> Unable to coerce value of feature [de.tudarmstadt.ukp.inception.api.kb.type.Fact:object] with type [de.tudarmstadt.ukp.inception.api.kb.type.FactObjectLink[]] into [java.lang.Object]
> {noformat}
> This is because Object is no an array or collection type. However, FSUtil.getFeatures should handle this as a special case. When the Object is used, basically any return value is acceptable. FSUtil should have defined behavior here, e.g. returning either an array or a list representation of the multi-value.
> This is what current work-around code looks like:
> {code}
> private Object getValue(FeatureStructure fs, AnnotationFeature aFeature)
> {
> Object value;
>
> Feature f = fs.getType().getFeatureByBaseName(aFeature.getName());
> if (f.getRange().isPrimitive()) {
> value = FSUtil.getFeature(fs, aFeature.getName(), Object.class);
> }
> else if (FSUtil.isMultiValuedFeature(fs, f)) {
> value = FSUtil.getFeature(fs, aFeature.getName(), List.class);
> }
> else {
> value = FSUtil.getFeature(fs, aFeature.getName(), FeatureStructure.class);
> }
>
> return value;
> }
> {code}
