Description

Currently there is a distinction made for "single view" and "multiple view" components. The UIMA architecture standard proposes that all components are multiple view components and be delivered a handle to the base CAS, and the component retrieves views as required. The change to existing "single view" component would be to add one line of code in the process method: cas = passInCas.getView(), which would return the View currently given to these components as determined by Sofa mapping.
