Re: How to set parameters for annotators inside an aggregated AE?

[Marshall Schor]

Hi Markus-

The parameter settings in the CPE descriptors are overrides to 
parameters in the CAS Processors (Analysis Engines).
That means you have to also declare the parameters in the those engines, 
at every level of the aggregate, down to the
primitive.  Is this what you did?

Hi,

I set up several annotators into one aggregated annotation engine for
easier handling. But I cannot figure out how to set the parameters for
the enclosed annotators from the CPE descriptor? Just setting the
parameters in the form

<casProcessor [...]>
[...]
<configurationParameterSettings>
        <nameValuePair>
            <name>NAME</name>
            <value><string>VALUE</string></value>
        </nameValuePair>
[...]
</configurationParameterSettings>
[...]
</casProcessor [...]>

did not work. My annotators did not have access to their config
settings and accessing a parameter throws a NULLPointerException.

Thanks in advance for any hint,

Markus
