Description

This is a regression in the UIMA SDK 2.6.0 RC 1 and worked in UIMA SDK 2.5.0.

• Add a full delegate description to an AAE.
• Serialize to XML: delegate description is serialized.
• Call resolveImports()
• Serialize to XML: delegate description is no longer serialized.

  public void testNoDelegatesToResolve() throws Exception {
    ResourceSpecifierFactory f = UIMAFramework.getResourceSpecifierFactory();
    AnalysisEngineDescription outer = f.createAnalysisEngineDescription();
    AnalysisEngineDescription inner = f.createAnalysisEngineDescription();
    outer.getDelegateAnalysisEngineSpecifiersWithImports().put("inner", inner);

    StringWriter outerXml = new StringWriter();
    outer.toXML(outerXml);
    
    // Resolving the imports removes the inner AE description
    outer.resolveImports(UIMAFramework.newDefaultResourceManager());
    
    StringWriter outerXml2 = new StringWriter();
    outer.toXML(outerXml2);

    Assert.assertEquals(outerXml.toString(), outerXml2.toString());
  }
