Constructor Detail

EncapsulatingAnnotatorLoader

public EncapsulatingAnnotatorLoader(java.lang.String path)

Parameters:

path - Filenames, separated by the current value of File.pathSeparator, which should be "encapsulated". Encapsulated files should be .mixup files or .class files, which will be read in when the AnnotatorLoader is created. Their contents will serialized along with it. When finding annotators (for a TextLabels object, in a require call) an EncapsulatingAnnotatorLoader will load these files in preference to anything on the current classpath.

EncapsulatingAnnotatorLoader

public EncapsulatingAnnotatorLoader(boolean asFiles,
                                    java.lang.String path)

Parameters:

asFiles - if true, elements of the path are file names. If false, elements of the path should be resources that can be found with getResourceAsStream(). The 'asFiles=false' option was mostly provided so that file-system-independent unit tests could be written.

Method Detail

findFileResource

public java.io.InputStream findFileResource(java.lang.String fileName)
