Description

Currently the DBConsumer annotator does not write attributes based on relations to database tables unless they are contained in an FSArray. Therefore the bodyLocation and severity attributes, and possibly others, are ignored when a document and its annotations are written to a database.

More generally, relations are not parsed and written to the database by the DBConsumer because they are not descended from uima.tcas.annotation and are therefore not contained in the AnnotationIndex, which is the only index the DBConsumer parses.
