Class FeatureMapFactoryBean

java.lang.Object
  gate.util.spring.GateAwareObject
      gate.util.spring.FeatureMapFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactoryAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean

public class FeatureMapFactoryBean
extends GateAwareObject
implements org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean

Spring FactoryBean to create a FeatureMap from a source Map (typically one created with a <map> element in a spring config file). Values in the source map whose type is Spring "Resource" are converted to URLs in the feature map (file: URLs if possible). If you are defining the source map inline (as opposed to ref-ing another bean) the following shorthand is available.

 <gate:feature-map>
   <entry key="kind" value="word" />
 </gate:feature-map>
 

The entry elements follow the same pattern as those in a <map> element in normal Spring configuration. See Init for an example of how to include the gate namespace.
