Hello,

I have a question concerning the setting of an Object as a configuration parameter for an AnalysisEngine:

We are processing a corpus with several threads of the same UIMA pipeline. There is a very large Java object or "resource" that is used by an AnalysisEngine of this pipeline. it's a Dictionary object that needs between 4 and 12GB memory. We would like to create only one object and use this in all pipelines, because of the memory footprint. I thought it could be possible to create it once and then set it as a configuration parameter for all the components. This does not work, because an AnalysisEngine does not accept to set an Object as a configuration parameter.
So I thought about two solutions yet:

1. we use this component not as a AnalysisEngine but as a POJO and set the Object by a simple setter.

2. using JNDI and resolve the object by a name - but I have no experience with JNDI, so I would like to have somebody's opinion about this approach.


regards
Matthias
