             Summary: Always deliver default View to annotator process method
                 Key: UIMA-3765
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-3765
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Java Framework
            Reporter: Eddie Epstein
            Assignee: Eddie Epstein


Currently the CAS view delivered to an annotator's process method depends on two things: if the annotator declares sofa capabilities, the base CAS view is delivered; else the default view is delivered.

Based on a recent mailing list discussion, always delivering the default view would be simpler and more intuitive.

This change in behavior should not break any existing annotator code as the base CAS view delivered to view aware annotators essentially supports only the getView method, which will continue to work.
