Hi Niels,

you might want to try to modify what you call the 'specifier' (I guess its a AnalysisEngineDescription) before you call

UIMAFramework.produceAnalysisEngine(specifier)

I used this in Unit tests during setup, something like this:

--------
URL descResource = LexProcessingWriterTest.class.getClassLoader().getResource( "MyDescriptor.xml");

AnalysisEngineDescription) aeDescription = UIMAFramework.getXMLParser().parseAnalysisEngineDescription(
                new XMLInputSource(descResource));

ConfigurationParameterSettings settings = aeDescription.getAnalysisEngineMetaData().getConfigurationParameterSettings();
------------

Now that you have the settings you can set/overwrite values like:

settings.setParameterValue(name, value);

At the end when you produce the analysis engine with the modified values there shouldn't be any problem:

myAE = UIMAFramework.produceAnalysisEngine(aeDescription);

Hope that helps,

Christoph

Hello everybody,

I'm new to this mailing list, however I'm not so new to UIMA.

Here's my issue: I am trying to set the parameters of an Aggregate AE from within my Java program.

I tried the following the solution I found here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01241.html#

which is basically to produce an annotator and then to configure it using

  annotator.setConfigParameterValue("ParamName","NewValue");

This does not work for me as

  annotator  = UIMAFramework.produceAnalysisEngine(specifier);

which I'm using before to produce the Aggregate initializes its AEs with the default parameters. These default parameters are of course not suitable for use in the given scenario, causing the initialization to fail before I correct the configuration.

I tried to use

   produceAnalysisEngine(ResourceSpecifier aSpecifier, Map
      aAdditionalParams)

instead but the additional parameters don't do the job. Perhaps I misunderstood the purpose of these additional parameters in the function.

How can I specify the parameteres of an (Aggregate) AE before it is initialized?

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Best,

   Niels Ott
