## Interface CustomResourceSpecifier

- All Superinterfaces:
    Cloneable, MetaDataObject, ResourceSpecifier, Serializable, XMLizable

      public interface CustomResourceSpecifier
      extends ResourceSpecifier

  A type of `ResourceSpecifier` that specifically names the Java class that should be created. This allows users to plug in their own custom resource implementations.

- - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `Parameter[]` | `getParameters()` Gets parameters that may be read by the custom resource class when it is initialized.
    `String` | `getResourceClassName()` Retrieves the name of the Java class that will be instantiated when one of the `UIMAFramework.produceXXX(ResourceSpecifier,...)` methods is called with this resource specifier.
    `void` | `setParameters(Parameter[] parameters)` Sets parameters that may be read by the custom resource class when it is initialized.
    `void` | `setResourceClassName(String aResourceClassName)` Setss the name of the Java class that will be instantiated when one of the `UIMAFramework.produceXXX(ResourceSpecifier,...)` methods is called with this resource specifier.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getResourceClassName

          String getResourceClassName()

      Retrieves the name of the Java class that will be instantiated when one of the `UIMAFramework.produceXXX(ResourceSpecifier,...)` methods is called with this resource specifier.
      Returns:
        a fully-qualified Java class name. The named class should implement `Resource`.

    - #### setResourceClassName

          void setResourceClassName(String aResourceClassName)

      Setss the name of the Java class that will be instantiated when one of the `UIMAFramework.produceXXX(ResourceSpecifier,...)` methods is called with this resource specifier.
      Parameters:
        `aResourceClassName` - a fully-qualified Java class name. The named class should implement `Resource`.

    - #### getParameters

          Parameter[] getParameters()

      Gets parameters that may be read by the custom resource class when it is initialized.
      Returns:
        an array of parameters. This will never return `null`.

    - #### setParameters

          void setParameters(Parameter[] parameters)

      Sets parameters that may be read by the custom resource class when it is initialized.
      Parameters:
        `parameters` - the Parameters to set.
