Hi Gandhi, Thank you for the additional information. Having a reliable rest service included with ctakes would be a boon for everybody interested in web access. I look forward to checking out the info in github as soon as I am able.
Thanks to you and Mathew both!

Please find the github link that contains the proposed changes for Spring upgrade in cTAKES, https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_gandhirajan_cTAKES_tree_master_SpringUpgrade_ctakes-2DSVN-2Dsrc&d=DwIFAg&c=qS4goWBT7poplM69zy_3xhKwEW14JZMSdioCoppxeFU&r=fs67GvlGZstTpyIisCYNYmQCP6r0bcpKGd4f7d4gTao&m=cedfmyhdY7P3qZdiVB-gp0T0WinfllT61pLMqbP_Jyw&s=eMYiHpgQwJ5Zjc7-gW6qyAJ3AS3-H622ZVSJEJcgd8s&e= I have not tested the changes in ytex modules as I'm not sure how to go about that. Matthew Vita will be reviewing the changes. He is also reviewing and testing my rest service changes. He will provide more info to us once we are done with our testing. So that we can discuss about productizing the same.

As you have mentioned, it is used by uima fit for firing some queries. To brief it, I did the following changes: 1) Changing SimpleJdbcTemplate to JdbcTemplate in uima modules 2) Changing Spring version in cTAKES root pom.xml 3) Adding Spring versions in ctakes type system, ctakes assertion, ctakes ytex and ctakes ytex web modules. Now I'm able to expose cTAKES as a rest service which takes the clinical text as Input and outputs the result. Hope it helps someone.

Will try to upgrade to Spring 4 and keep you posted about the progress.

This may require some "maven magic"(overrides) on your part. If it does seem to work please create a jira item to upgrade the spring version. Then hopefully before the next release somebody will thoroughly test an update. Offhand I don't know if or why spring is needed for ctakes itself. At a quick search it looks like uimafit requires it. Does anybody out there know what spring capabilities are used, directly or indirectly, by ctakes modules?

We have tested the same and it works fine with CVD. But we are facing problems while trying to expose this as rest service. cTAKES uses Spring 3.1.2 version internally which don't have out of the box support for rest controller. Can we go ahead and update the spring version to 4x in cTAKES? Will it have any impact in the cTAKES behavior? Also is there a better way to expose cTAKES as rest service apart from spring?
