Accessing properties of an Analysis Engine ?

[Thomas Francart]

Hello UIMA gurus I am trying to setup an aggregate analysis engine. What I would like to do is to be able to integrate in my process one or more steps that serialize the CAS into a String object that I want to access programmatically. My question is : can I access via the API the Analysis Engines that compose my aggregate AE, so that I can access some properties in them (like a String into which the serialization of the CAS would have been stored) ? It seems like no... or should I put my String into the CAS itself ? More generally, is there a way I can programmatically access my Analysis Engines to set/get some parameters or properties in them ?
