Class GateResourceFactoryBean

java.lang.Object
  gate.util.spring.GateAwareObject
      gate.util.spring.GateResourceFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactoryAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean, org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean

public class GateResourceFactoryBean
extends GateAwareObject
implements org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean, org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean

Spring factory bean to create a GATE resource (LR, PR, controller). Generally used via the gate: extension namespace, e.g.:

 <gate:resource id="doc" scope="prototype"
                resource-class="gate.corpora.DocumentImpl"
                resource-name="News document">
   <gate:parameters>
     <entry key="sourceUrl">
       <value type="org.springframework.core.io.Resource">resources/doc.xm</value>
     </entry>
     <entry key="preserveOriginalContent" value="true" />
   </gate:parameters>
   <gate:features>
     <entry key="genre" value="news" />
   </gate:features>
   <gate:customisers>
     <!-- optional list of ResourceCustomisers applied to the resource after creation -->
   </gate:customisers>
 </gate:resource>
 

The gate:parameters and gate:features elements are FeatureMaps giving the init-time parameters and features for the resource respectively. Any Spring Resource values in these maps are converted to URLs, so the rest of the GATE code does not need to know about Spring. For details of how to declare the gate namespace, see Init.
