## Interface CasDataCollectionReader

- All Superinterfaces:
    BaseCollectionReader, Resource
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    CasDataCollectionReader_ImplBase

      public interface CasDataCollectionReader
      extends BaseCollectionReader

  A `CasDataCollectionReader` is used to iterate over the elements of a Collection. Iteration is done using the `BaseCollectionReader.hasNext()` and `getNext()` methods. Each element of the collection is returned as a `CasData`.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getNext

          CasData getNext()
                   throws IOException,
                          CollectionException

      Gets the next `CasData` from this `CollectionReader`. If this is a consuming Collection Reader (see `BaseCollectionReader.isConsuming()`), this element will also be removed from the collection.
      Returns:
        the next `Entity`
      Throws:
        `UIMA_IllegalStateException` - if there are no more elements left in the collection
        `IOException` - if an I/O failure occurs
        `CollectionException` - if there is some other problem with reading from the Collection

    - #### getNext

          CasData[] getNext(int aNumToGet)
                     throws IOException,
                            CollectionException

      Gets multiple `CasData` objects from this `CasDataCollectionReader`. If this is a consuming Collection Reader (see `BaseCollectionReader.isConsuming()`), these entities will also be removed from the collection.
      Parameters:
        `aNumToGet` - the number of `CasData` objects to get
      Returns:
        an array containing the `CasData` objects. The length of this array will be at most `aNumToGet`, although it may be less (if there are not enough elements left in the collection).
      Throws:
        `UIMA_IllegalStateException` - if there is no more elements in the collection
        `IOException` - if an I/O failure occurs
        `CollectionException` - if there is some other problem with reading from the Collection

    - #### getCasDataInitializer

          @Deprecated
          CasDataInitializer getCasDataInitializer()

      Deprecated. As of v2.0 CAS Initializers are deprecated.
      Gets the CAS Data Initializer that has been assigned to this Collection Reader. Note that CollectionReader implementations are not required to make use of the CAS Initializer - refer to the documentation for your specific Collection Reader.
      Returns:
        the CAS Data Initializer for this Collection Reader

    - #### setCasInitializer

          @Deprecated
          void setCasInitializer(CasDataInitializer aCasDataInitializer)

      Deprecated. As of v2.0 CAS Initializers are deprecated.
      Assigns a CAS Data Initializer for this Collection Reader to use. Note that* CollectionReader implementations are not required to make use of the CAS Initializer - refer to the documentation for your specific Collection Reader.
      Parameters:
        `aCasDataInitializer` - the CAS Data Initializer for this Collection Reader
