Baptiste,

This issue has been fixed in SVN, and the fix will be in the next release.

Hi,

I have to integrate 2 annotators in an aggregate, the first creates a new

Sofa and the second work on this created Sofa.

My problem is that when I use the Annotators descriptors in the imports
everything works, but when I specify the '_pear.xml' descriptors the second

annotator continue to work on the 'DEFAULT' Sofa.

For example with this descriptor my second annotator (InfomagicXipFrench)

annotates the Sofa 'txt' :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<analysisEngineDescription xmlns="http://uima.apache.org/resourceSpecifier";>

  <frameworkImplementation>org.apache.uima.java</frameworkImplementation>

  <primitive>false</primitive>

  <delegateAnalysisEngineSpecifiers>

    <delegateAnalysisEngine key="XmlStripAnnotator">

      <import
location="../../XmlStripAnnotator/XmlStripAnnotator_pear.xml"/>

    </delegateAnalysisEngine>

    <delegateAnalysisEngine key="InfomagicXipFrench">

      <import
location="../../InfomagicXipFrench/desc/InfomagicXipFrench.xml"/>

    </delegateAnalysisEngine>

  </delegateAnalysisEngineSpecifiers>

      <componentKey>InfomagicXipFrench</componentKey>

      <aggregateSofaName>txt</aggregateSofaName>

    </sofaMapping>

  </sofaMappings>

</analysisEngineDescription>

But when I use this import :

<delegateAnalysisEngine key="InfomagicXipFrench">

      <import
location="../../InfomagicXipFrench/InfomagicXipFrench_pear.xml"/>

    </delegateAnalysisEngine>

Instead of

<delegateAnalysisEngine key="InfomagicXipFrench">

      <import
location="../../InfomagicXipFrench/desc/InfomagicXipFrench.xml"/>

    </delegateAnalysisEngine>

The annotator works only on the 'DEFAULT' Sofa.

This is very problematic because UIMA does not built the correct CLASSPATH
when I use the import based on
"../../InfomagicXipFrench/desc/InfomagicXipFrench.xml". As I have to
integrate other annotators (with a lot of JAR dependencies) I must use the

'_pear.xml' descriptor.

Do you know how can I force my annotators to use the right Sofa using

'_pear.xml' imports in my aggregate ? Thanks,
