Not sure if I fully grasp what you are trying to do.
<bean name="normalizer"
class="it.celi.uima.engine.RegExpNormalizer">
<property name="aProperty" value="value"/>
<property name="anotherProperty"
value="anotherValue"/>
</bean>
<bean name="uima" class="it.celi.uima.engine.CpmUIMAEngine">
[cut]
<property name="analisysDescriptors">
<description>The pipeline of analysis:
analysis engines, aggregates
and pears descriptors allowed</description>
<list>
<ref bean="normalizer"/>
</list>
</property>
In the above you are specifying spring beans which are wrappers (I presume)
around uima components. The uima spring bean
under the covers crates an instance of the cpm ( I presume). What I dont
see is how you are initializing the cpm engine. I only
see the AE being plugged in (the normalizer).
Incidentally, we are working on a replacement for the cpm that uses Spring
extensively. The new approach is based on asynchronous
architecture using JMS ( ActiveMQ specifically) for transport.

POJOing uima, is it possible?

Hi to all,
I embedded a CPM in a Spring context (www.springframework.org) via a
wrapper class that parses AE xml (collectionreaders, annotators and
consumers) and push them in the CPM.
I did the same thing with aggregate AE to be used by a web app (here I
don't need collection readers nor consumers).
A snippet from the spring context:
<bean name="listener" class="it.celi.uima.engine.Listener">
<property name="cpm" ref="cpm" />
</bean>
<bean name="cpm" class="org.apache.uima.UIMAFramework"
factory-method="newCollectionProcessingManager">
<description>The collection processing manager
that holds uima
components</description>
</bean>
<bean name="uima" class="it.celi.uima.engine.CpmUIMAEngine">
<description>An Engine that wraps UIMA components:
collection
readers, analsys engines and consumers</description>
<property name="pearsInstallPath"
value="${pears.base.path}installed" />
<property name="cpm" ref="cpm">
<description>The uderlying Collection
Processing Manager</description>
</property>
<property name="listeners">
<description>A collection of listeners
to be attached to CPM</description>
<list>
<ref bean="listener" />
</list>
</property>
<property name="readerDescriptors">
<description>A collection of
CollectionReaders: the entire pipeline
is activated for each reader</description>
<list>
<value>${conf.base.path}RecursiveFileSystemCollectionReader.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="analisysDescriptors">
<description>The pipeline of analysis:
analysis engines, aggregates
and pears descriptors allowed</description>
<list>
<value>${conf.base.path}SentenceAnnotator.xml</value>
<value>${conf.base.path}RegExpTokenizer.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="consumerDescriptors">
<list>
<value>${conf.base.path}XmiWriterCasConsumer.xml</value>
<value>${conf.base.path}XCasWriterCasConsumer.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
Now I would go a step forward and avoid UIMA xml descritptor, please
don't blame me :)
What I'm looking for is something like this:
RegExpNormalizer annotator = new RegExpNormalizer();
annotar.setAProperty(value);
annotar.setAnotehrProperty(anotherValue);
CollectionProcessingManager cpm =
UIMAFramework.newCollectionProcessingManager();
cpm.add(annotator)
Where RegExpNormalizer extends JCasAnnotator_ImplBase.
So in the spring context I can write:
<bean name="normalizer"
class="it.celi.uima.engine.RegExpNormalizer">
<property name="aProperty" value="value"/>
<property name="anotherProperty"
value="anotherValue"/>
</bean>
<bean name="uima" class="it.celi.uima.engine.CpmUIMAEngine">
[cut]
<property name="analisysDescriptors">
<description>The pipeline of analysis:
analysis engines, aggregates
and pears descriptors allowed</description>
<list>
<ref bean="normalizer"/>
</list>
</property>
Is it possible to do that?
Thanks
Roberto
