public class SimpleTextMerger
extends org.apache.uima.analysis_component.JCasMultiplier_ImplBase

An example CasMultiplier, which merges text documents into larger ones. It attempts to merge all of the segments that came from one original artifact. This is done by checking the "lastSegment" feature of the SourceDocumentInformation FeatureStructure, which is expected to be populated by the CollectionReader or CasMultiplier that produced the input CASes.

Limitations: if the lastSegment feature is never set to true by the component producing the input CASes, the merger will never produce any output. Also, this implementation relies on the CASes arriving in order, which could be a problem in a mulithreaded framework implementation. The order requirement could be relieved by recording a segment number in the SourceDocumentInformation, but that would also make this example more complicated.
