Nick,please post part of your code that changes the value of the CC property. I think there are two ways to change the property:
1) Change the property value via CpeDescription object. This would be a preferred way since the change is made on the descriptor object before the CPE instantiates CasProcessors. 2) Change the property value via CasProcessor object. In this case, the application calls public CasProcessor[] getCasProcessors() on the BaseCPMImpl object to get a list of CasProcessors. These are *instances* that have been initialized from the descriptor object. Subsequently you iterate over the list and find the CasProcessor you want to change, and finally you change the property via CasProcessor API: public ConfigurationParameterSettings getParameterSettings() I have a feeling that your code is changing the property using method #2. And it seems that you are only changing the property on one instance of the CasProcessor. The list returned may contain more than one instance of specific CasProcessor. How many instances you get depends on how many processing threads there are and whether or not the CasProcessor is parallizable.In your case there would be two instances of CC in the list. If you want to use method #2 you need to scan the list returned from getCasProcessors() for *ALL* instances of the CasProcessor you want to modify.
