CASFactory (Apache UIMA Java SDK: uimaj 2.5.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.uima.cas.admin.CASFactory

```
public abstract class CASFactory
extends Object
```
Factory class to create CASMgr objects. This is the only class in this package. Once you have created a CAS object, you can use the methods there to create and access objects implementing the other interfaces. For the OO API, no direct access to any of the implementations is provided. Should you want to provide an alternative implementation of the CAS interfaces in this package, the only thing you have to change is the implementation of the createCAS() method here.
All methods in this class are static. CASFactory objects can not be created.

```
public static CASMgr createCAS()
```
    Create a new CASMgr object.
    
    Returns:
    A new CASMgr object.
  - createCAS
```
public static CASMgr createCAS(int initialHeapSize)
```
    Create a new CASMgr object.
    
    Parameters:
    initialHeapSize - The initial size of the internal CAS heap. If you choose this number too small, it can have a major performance impact. As a very rough guideline, this number should not be smaller than the number of characters in documents you are processing.
    
    Returns:
    A new CASMgr object.
  - createCAS
```
public static CASMgr createCAS(int initialHeapSize,
               boolean useJcasCache)
```
  - createCAS
```
public static CASMgr createCAS(int initialHeapSize,
               TypeSystem ts)
```
    Create a new CASMgr object from a give type system.
    
    Parameters:
    initialHeapSize - The initial size of the internal CAS heap. If you choose this number too small, it can have a major performance impact. As a very rough guideline, this number should not be smaller than the number of characters in documents you are processing.
    ts - An existing type system (must not be null).
    
    Returns:
    A new CASMgr object.
  - createCAS
```
public static CASMgr createCAS(int initialHeapSize,
               TypeSystem ts,
               boolean useJcasCache)
```
  - createCAS
```
public static CASMgr createCAS(TypeSystem ts)
```
    Create a new CASMgr object from a give type system.
    
    Parameters:
    ts - An existing type system (must not be null).
    
    Returns:
    A new CASMgr object.
  - createCAS
```
public static CASMgr createCAS(TypeSystem ts,
               boolean useJcasCache)
```
  - createTypeSystem
```
public static TypeSystemMgr createTypeSystem()
```
    Create a new type system that is populated with the built-in CAS types.
    
    Returns:
    A type system manager object that can be used to add more types.
