public class FeatureValuePathImpl extends Object implements FeatureValuePath
coveredText() can be accessed using evaluateAsString
 typeName() can be accessed using evaluateAsString
 fsId() can be accessed using evaluateAsInt. Its result can be used
 to retrieve an FS from the current LowLevel-CAS.
 uniqueId() can be accessed using evaluateAsInt. Its result can be
 used to uniquely identify an FS for a document (even if the document is split over several CAS
 chunks)
 FSArray, but not as the
 last path snippet. The next path snippet must contain the fully qualified type name, example:
 family/members[0]/somepackage.Person:nameIntArray, StringArray, FloatArray, but only as the last path snippet.[index] returns the array entry at index
 [last] returns the last entry of the array
 [] returns an array of values. [] is only allowed 0 or 1 time in a
 feature path. If it is used, getValueType will return one of the following:
 CAS.TYPE_NAME_STRING_ARRAY ,CAS.TYPE_NAME_INTEGER_ARRAY,CAS.TYPE_NAME_FLOAT_ARRAY.
 FSArray, an actual feature name can
 be omitted, and only the array access operator can be used. Examples:
 
 
                        
                         
                          
                           
                            
                             
                              
                               
                                
                                 
                                                                            []/somepackage.Person:coveredText()
                                                                             [last]/somepackage.Person:fsId()
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 FeaturePath.getFeaturePath. Note that the client
 code needs to keep track of the "start type" of the feature path, that is, the type that contains
 the attribute used in the first snippet of the path.
 typeSystemInit of your component (CAS consumer or TAE), call
 typeSystemInit of the feature path.
 getValueType to find out whether the feature path evaluates to a String,
 and int, a float, or their array counterparts.
