Hi, Good question...
The use of the word "parameters" in UIMA is unfortunately overloaded with multiple meanings. There are in general 2 kinds: the kind used in produceAnalysisEngine - the so-called "additional parameters". The other kind are the "configuration parameters", also called configuration settings. These latter have a capability for specifying global external settings overrides. If the parameters you want to override are configuration params (which I think you mean, because you say they're already in the "xml"),take a look at https://uima.apache.org/d/uimaj-current/references.html#ugr.ref.xml.component_descriptor.aes.external_configuration_parameter_overrides Maybe that will be an easy way to address your use case: the external settings could be dynamically written into a temp file and that temp file specified in an "additional parameters" key to produceAnalysisEngine. -Marshall On 12/12/2017 2:39 AM, Matthias Koch wrote: > Hi, > > I want to configure a PEAR dynamically.
