Usage FAQs

I can’t submit a YAML pipeline via the REST API interface (Swagger)?

Unfortunately, Swagger – the REST API UI we use – doesn’t support submitting multi line strings and so this is not possible. However, you are able to submit the YAML pipeline directly to the REST endpoint and bypass Swagger.

When submitting a POST, you must make sure that you are submitting the fields (name and yaml) in the header (as query parameters) and not in the body as content in the http body is not currently supported.

The OpenNLP annotators aren’t extracting anything?

When using the OpenNLP annotators, make sure you are also including language.OpenNLP in the pipeline (see Using OpenNLP with Baleen).

Why can't I view JavaDoc?

If you built baleen from source (using (for example) mvn clean install) then you may not have packaged the java-doc into the aggregate-jar. follow the directions here to do this.
