Common interface for sofa data and sofa reference

Hi,

A text sofa can be included in a CAS or it can be referenced by an URI.
Writing an annotator, I do not want to distinguish between these two
ways. I would like to have a common interface for both. Does it exist?
Or do I have to write two versions of each annotator? For example, I'd
like to have one method to get the document text, regardless whether it
is included or referenced.

Greetings,

Armin

Hi Richard,

it works. I used

String documentText = FileUtils.reader2String(new InputStreamReader(cas.getSofaDataStream)));

Thanks

Armin

Hi Armin,

I didn't try it, but I believe CAS.getSofaDataStream() should work for you. But I believe the getCoveredText() method will only work for text that is included with the CAS.
