        Create an instance of the GateWorker and either start our own Java GATE process for it to use
        (start=True) or connect to an existing one (start=False).

        After the GateWorker instance has been create successfully, it is possible to:

        * Use one of the methods of the instance to perform operations on the Java side or exchange data

        * use GateWorker.worker to invoke methods from the PythonWorker class on the Java side

        * use GateWorker.jvm to directly construct objects or call instance or static methods

        NOTE: the GATE process must not output anything important/big to stderr because everything from
        stderr gets captured and used for communication between the Java and Python processes. At least
        part of the output to stderr may only be passed on after the GATE process has ended.

        Example:

            ```python
            gs = GateWorker()
            pipeline = gs.worker.loadPipelineFromFile("thePipeline.xgapp")
            doc = gs.worker.createDocument("Some document text")
            gs.worker.run4doc(pipeline,doc)
            pdoc = gs.gdoc2pdoc(doc)
            gs.worker.deleteResource(doc)
            # process the document pdoc ...

           process at the host/port address
        java: path to the java binary to run or the java command to use from the PATH (for start=True)
        host: host an existing Java GATE process is running on (only relevant for start=False)
        gatehome: where GATE is installed (only relevant if start=True). If None, expects
               environment variable GATE_HOME to be set.
        platform: system platform we run on, one of Windows, Linux (also for MacOs) or Java
        auth_token: if None or "" and use_auth_token is True, generate a random token which
               is then accessible via the auth_token attribute, otherwise use the given auth token.
        use_auth_token: if False, do not use an auth token, otherwise either use the one specified
               via auth_token or generate a random one.
        log_actions: if the gate worker should log the actions it is doing
        keep: normally if gs.close() is called and we are not connected to the PythonWorkerLr,
               the worker will be shut down. If this is True, the gs.close() method does not shut down

Functions

def classpath_sep(platform=None)

Get the system-specific classpath separator character.

Args

platform
(Default value = None) win/windows for Windows, anything else for non-windows If not specified, tries to determine automatically (which may fail)

Returns

classpath separator character

def gate_classpath(gatehome, platform=None)

Return the GATE classpath components as a string, with the path seperator characters appropriate for the operating system.

Args

gatehome
where GATE is installed, either as a cloned git repo or a downloaded installation dir.
platform
(Default value = None) win/windows for Windows, anything else for non-Windows.

Returns

GATE classpath

Raises

Exception if classpath could not be determined.

def main()

Start a GATE worker from the command line.

This is available as command gatenlp-gate-worker. Use option --help to get help about command line arguments.

def start_gate_worker(port=25333, host='127.0.0.1', auth_token=None, use_auth_token=True, java='java', platform=None, gatehome=None, log_actions=False, keep=False, debug=False)

Run the gate worker program. This starts the Java program included with gatenlp to run GATE and execute the gate worker within GATE so that Python can connect to it.

Args

port
(Default value = 25333) Port number to use
host
(Default value = "127.0.0.1") Host address to bind to
auth_token
(Default value = None) Authorization token to use. If None, creates a random token.
use_auth_token
(Default value = True) If False, do not aue an authorization token at all. This allows anyone who can connect to the host address to connect and use the gate worker process.
java
(Default value = "java") Java command (if on the binary path) or full path to the binary to use for running the gate worker program.
platform
(Default value = None) "win"/"windows" for Windows, anything else for non-Windows. If None, tries to determine automatically.
gatehome
(Default value = None) The path to where GATE is installed. If None, the environment variable "GATE_HOME" is used.
log_actions
(Default value = False) If True, the GATE Worker process will log everything it is ordered to do.
keep
(Default value = False) passed on to the gate worker process and tells the process if it should report to the using Pythong process that it can be closed or not.
debug
(Default valuye = False) Show debug messages.

Classes

class GateWorker (port=25333, start=True, java='java', host='127.0.0.1', gatehome=None, platform=None, auth_token=None, use_auth_token=True, log_actions=False, keep=False, debug=False)

Gate worker for remotely running arbitrary GATE and other JAVA operations in a separate Java GATE process.

Create an instance of the GateWorker and either start our own Java GATE process for it to use (start=True) or connect to an existing one (start=False).

After the GateWorker instance has been create successfully, it is possible to:

  • Use one of the methods of the instance to perform operations on the Java side or exchange data

  • use GateWorker.worker to invoke methods from the PythonWorker class on the Java side

  • use GateWorker.jvm to directly construct objects or call instance or static methods

NOTE: the GATE process must not output anything important/big to stderr because everything from stderr gets captured and used for communication between the Java and Python processes. At least part of the output to stderr may only be passed on after the GATE process has ended.

Example

gs = GateWorker()
pipeline = gs.worker.loadPipelineFromFile("thePipeline.xgapp")
doc = gs.worker.createDocument("Some document text")
gs.worker.run4doc(pipeline,doc)
pdoc = gs.gdoc2pdoc(doc)
gs.worker.deleteResource(doc)
# process the document pdoc ...

port: port to use start: if True, try to start our own GATE process, otherwise expect an already started process at the host/port address java: path to the java binary to run or the java command to use from the PATH (for start=True) host: host an existing Java GATE process is running on (only relevant for start=False) gatehome: where GATE is installed (only relevant if start=True). If None, expects environment variable GATE_HOME to be set. platform: system platform we run on, one of Windows, Linux (also for MacOs) or Java auth_token: if None or "" and use_auth_token is True, generate a random token which is then accessible via the auth_token attribute, otherwise use the given auth token. use_auth_token: if False, do not use an auth token, otherwise either use the one specified via auth_token or generate a random one. log_actions: if the gate worker should log the actions it is doing keep: normally if gs.close() is called and we are not connected to the PythonWorkerLr, the worker will be shut down. If this is True, the gs.close() method does not shut down the worker. debug: show debug messages (default: False)

class GateWorkerAnnotator (pipeline, gateworker, annsets_send=None, annsets_receive=None, replace_anns=False, update_document=False)

Helper class that provides a standard way to create an ABC using inheritance.

Create a GateWorker annotator.

This starts the gate worker, loads the pipeline and can then be used to annotate Python gatenlp Document instances with the Java GATE pipeline.

Note: to make sure that start/finish callbacks on the Java side are invoked, the annotator start() method should be invoked once before processing documents and finish() should get called once after processing documents. (Any Executor implementation shoudl do this autimatically)

If the GateWorkerAnnotator is not used any more, close() should be invoked to terminate the Java GATE Worker process.

Example

pipeline = GateWorkerAnnotator("annie.xgapp", GateWorker())
for idx, doc in enumerate(mycorpus):
    corpus[idx] = pipeline(doc)

Args

pipeline
the path to a Java GATE pipeline to load into the GATE worker
gateworker
the gate home directory to use, if not set, uses environment variable GATE_HOME
annsets_send
a list of either annotation set names, or tuples where the first element is the name of an annotation set and the second element is either the name of a type or a list of type names. If not None, only the sets/types specified are sent to Java GATE. If an empty list is specified, no annotations are sent at all.
annsets_receive
this only works if update_document is True: same format as annsets_send to specify which annotation sets/types are sent back to Python after the document has been processed on the Java side.
replace_anns
this is only relevant if update_document is True: if True and an annotation is received which already exists (same set and annotation id) then the existing annotation is replaced (if offsets and type are also same, only the features are replaced). If False, all received annotations are added which may change their annotation id.
update_document
if True, then existing annotations in the gatenlp document are kept and the annotations received from Java GATE are added. In this case, other changes to the document, e.g. the document text or document features are not applied to the current python document. If False, the existing document is completely replaced with what gets received from Java GATE.
