## Class UIMAFramework

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.uima.UIMAFramework

-     public abstract class UIMAFramework
      extends Object

  This is an application's main interface point to the UIMA Framework. Static methods on this class allow the application to create instances of UIMA components.

  This class also provides the ability to change the underlying UIMA implementation. All UIMA implementations must provide a subclass of `UIMAFramework` as part of their distribution. If you wish to use a UIMA implementation other than the default reference implementation, set the System property `uima.framework_impl` to the fully qualified class name of the `UIMAFramework` subclass that you wish to use. Note that this must be done prior to loading this class. If the `uima.framework_impl` property has not been set when this class is loaded, the default reference implementation will be used.

    - #### produceAnalysisEngine

                                                             int aMaxSimultaneousRequests,

                                                      throws ResourceInitializationException

      Produces an `AnalysisEngine` instance from a `ResourceSpecifier`. The `ResourceSpecifier` may either specify how to construct a new instance or how to locate an existing instance.

      This version of `produceAnalysisEngine` allows the convenient creation of AnalysisEngines that can handle multiple simultaneous requests. Using this method is equivalent to using `produceAnalysisEngine(ResourceSpecifier,Map)` and including values for `AnalysisEngine.PARAM_NUM_SIMULTANEOUS_REQUESTS` and `AnalysisEngine.PARAM_TIMEOUT_PERIOD` in the parameter map.

      Parameters:
        `aSpecifier` - an object that specifies how to acquire an instance of a `Resource`. This must specify a subclass of `AnalysisEngine`.
        `aMaxSimultaneousRequests` - the number of simultaneous requests that this AnalysisEngine should be able to process. The value for this parameter should be chosen careful - see the JavaDocs for `AnalysisEngine.PARAM_NUM_SIMULTANEOUS_REQUESTS`.
        `aTimeoutPeriod` - - when the number of simultaneous requests exceeds `aMaxSimultaneousReqeusts`, additional requests will wait for other requests to finish. This parameter determines the maximum number of milliseconds that a new request should wait before throwing an exception - a value of 0 will cause them to wait forever. See the JavaDocs for `AnalysisEngine.PARAM_TIMEOUT_PERIOD`.
      Returns:
        an `AnalysisEngine` instance.
      Throws:
        `ResourceInitializationException` - if a failure occurred during production of the resource.

      Deprecated. As of v2.0, `produceAnalysisEngine(ResourceSpecifier)` should be used instead.
      Produces a `TextAnalysisEngine` instance from a `ResourceSpecifier`. The `ResourceSpecifier` may either specify how to construct a new instance or how to locate an existing instance.

      The TextAnalysisEngine returned from this method is not guaranteed to be able to process multiple simultaneous requests. See `produceTAE(ResourceSpecifier,int,int)` for more information.

      Parameters:
        `aSpecifier` - an object that specifies how to acquire an instance of a `Resource`. This must specify a subclass of `TextAnalysisEngine`.
      Returns:
        a `TextAnalysisEngine` instance.
      Throws:
        `ResourceInitializationException` - if a failure occurred during production of the resource.

      Deprecated. As of v2.0, `produceAnalysisEngine(ResourceSpecifier,int,int)` should be used instead.
      Produces a `TextAnalysisEngine` instance from a `ResourceSpecifier`. The `ResourceSpecifier` may either specify how to construct a new instance or how to locate an existing instance.

      This version of `produceTAE` allows the convenient creation of TAEs that can handle multiple simultaneous requests. Using this method is equivalent to using `produceTAE(ResourceSpecifier,Map)` and including values for `AnalysisEngine.PARAM_NUM_SIMULTANEOUS_REQUESTS` and `AnalysisEngine.PARAM_TIMEOUT_PERIOD` in the parameter map.

      Parameters:
        `aSpecifier` - an object that specifies how to acquire an instance of a `Resource`. This must specify a subclass of `TextAnalysisEngine`.
        `aMaxSimultaneousRequests` - the number of simultaneous requests that this TAE should be able to process. The value for this parameter should be chosen careful - see the JavaDocs for `AnalysisEngine.PARAM_NUM_SIMULTANEOUS_REQUESTS`.
        `aTimeoutPeriod` - - when the number of simultaneous requests exceeds `aMaxSimultaneousReqeusts`, additional requests will wait for other requests to finish. This parameter determines the maximum number of milliseconds that a new request should wait before throwing an exception - a value of 0 will cause them to wait forever. See the JavaDocs for `AnalysisEngine.PARAM_TIMEOUT_PERIOD`.
      Returns:
        a `TextAnalysisEngine` instance.
      Throws:
        `ResourceInitializationException` - if a failure occurred during production of the resource.

    - #### getLogger

          public static Logger getLogger()

      Gets the `Logger` used by the UIMA framework. An application won't generally write to this logger, although nothing is stopping it from doing so.

      In the UIMA SDK, the logger is implemented using the Java 1.4 logger as a back end. If you want to configure the logger, for example to specify the location of the log file and the logging level, you should use the standard Java 1.4 logger properties or the java.util.logging APIs. See the section "Specifying the Logging Configuration" in the Annotator and Analysis Engine Developer's Guide chapter of the UIMA documentation for more information.

      Returns:
        the default Logger used by UIMA components

    - #### getLogger

          public static Logger getLogger(Class<?> component)

    - #### newUimaContext

          public static UimaContextAdmin newUimaContext(Logger aLogger,

                                                        ConfigurationManager aConfigManager)

      Gets a new instance of a `UimaContext`. Applications do not generally need to call this method.
      Parameters:
        `aLogger` - the logger that will be returned by this UimaContext's `getLogger()` method.
        `aResourceManager` - the ResourceManager that will be used by this UimaContext to locate and access external resource.

    - #### getDefaultPerformanceTuningProperties

          public static Properties getDefaultPerformanceTuningProperties()

      Gets the default performance tuning settings for the framework. Advanced users can tweak the framework by modifying these properties and passing the modified Properties object into the `produceTAE(ResourceSpecifier,Map)` or `produceCollectionProcessingEngine(CpeDescription,Map)` methods by putting it into the `aAdditionalParams` map under the key `Resource.PARAM_PERFORMANCE_TUNING_SETTINGS`. For example, the following code set the initial heap size allocated in the CAS to 100,000:

           Properties uimaPerfProps = UIMAFramework.getDefaultPerformanceTuningProperties();
           uimaPerfProps.setProperty(UIMAFramework.CAS_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE, "100000");
           HashMap params = new HashMap();
           params.put(Resource.PARAM_PERFORMANCE_TUNING_SETTINGS, uimaPerfProps);
           AnalysisEngine ae = UIMAFramework.produceAnalysisEngine(specifier, params);

      Valid keys for the `Properties` object returned by this method are specified as constants on this interface.

      Returns:
        the default set of performance tuning properties. A new object is returned each time this method is called, so changes made to the returned objects will not affect other callers.
