## Enum CasLoadMode

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<CasLoadMode>
  - - org.apache.uima.util.CasLoadMode

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<CasLoadMode>

      public enum CasLoadMode
      extends Enum<CasLoadMode>

  Used with CasIOUtils, maybe elsewhere, to indicate how CASes are to be loaded or saved. TSI = serialized type system and index definitions TS = serialized type system TSI can be used to reinitialize the CAS's type system and its index definitions. TS (which can be obtained from TSI) is used only with Compressed form 6 to specify the type system used to decode the serialized data. The TS/TSI artifact is self-identifying as to which kind it is, when deserializing. TSI and TS can be provided via two sources: - embedded in some serialized forms - via a separate artifact If both embedded and separate values are available for TS or TSI, then embedded takes precedence, external is ignored, except for compressed form 6; in that case, both are used: - external used to reinitialize the CAS's type system and indexes definition, and - embedded used to decode the serialized data, leniently. Compressed form 6 type system for decoding comes from the first one available of: - embedded TS or TSI - external TS or TSI - the receiving CAS's type system

    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant and Description
    `DEFAULT` Default operation: If TSI is available, reinitialize the CAS's type system and its indexes definition, except for Compressed Form 6, using the first TSI in this list: - embedded - external (to do this for Compressed Form 6, specify REINIT) Logic for doing embedded before external: Examining each serialized form: Java Object: if embedded is available, it's the right one, a different one causes exceptions XCas, XMI: doesn't apply - no way to have embedded Form 6 - excluded, anyway, see below Form 4 and Binary: these require the serialized type system match the CASs, so the embedded one is always right.
    `LENIENT` Same as DEFAULT, except for XMI and XCAS formats: Specifies lenient loading for those formats, which means that the load will not indicate an error if the incoming data has types and/or features not in the receiving CAS, but will instead silently ignore these.
    `REINIT` Used for Compressed Form 6 and to .

    - #### DEFAULT

          public static final CasLoadMode DEFAULT

      Default operation: If TSI is available, reinitialize the CAS's type system and its indexes definition, except for Compressed Form 6, using the first TSI in this list: - embedded - external (to do this for Compressed Form 6, specify REINIT) Logic for doing embedded before external: Examining each serialized form: Java Object: if embedded is available, it's the right one, a different one causes exceptions XCas, XMI: doesn't apply - no way to have embedded Form 6 - excluded, anyway, see below Form 4 and Binary: these require the serialized type system match the CASs, so the embedded one is always right. Compressed Form 6: - decoding: use the first type system in this list: - embedded TS/TSI - external TS/TSI - the receiving CAS's type system For all SerialFormats except Compressed type 6, default is to require strict matching (not lenient).

    - #### LENIENT

          public static final CasLoadMode LENIENT

      Same as DEFAULT, except for XMI and XCAS formats: Specifies lenient loading for those formats, which means that the load will not indicate an error if the incoming data has types and/or features not in the receiving CAS, but will instead silently ignore these.

    - #### REINIT

          public static final CasLoadMode REINIT

      Used for Compressed Form 6 and to . Same as default, except that the internal and / or external TSI is used to reinitialize the CAS's type system and its indexes definition, using the first TSI in this list: - external (to allow the embedded to specify the decoding type system) - embedded (if it is a TSI) Decode (same as DEFAULT) Error if no TSI information available

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static CasLoadMode[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (CasLoadMode c : CasLoadMode.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static CasLoadMode valueOf(String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
