Thanks a lot for your reply.
I wanted to know if there was a way to do this entirely programmatically
without having a type system descriptor file with an imported type
system as you suggested. This is because I build the CPE dynamically and
I need to add my types to the original type system dynamically.
However I got an idea from your reply to do the merging using imports
programmatically using the setImports method on TypeSystemDescription.
This is how I solved my problem.
public static void addMyTypesToTypeSystem(TypeSystemDescription tsd) {
TypeSystemDescription tsd;
public addTypeSystem,
Import[] imports = tsd.getImports();
Import myImport = new Import_impl();
myImport.setName("qualified.name.to.my.typesystem.xml");
List<Import> newImports = new ArrayList<Import>();
newImports.addAll(Arrays.asList(imports));
newImports.add(myImport);
tsd.setImports(newImports.toArray(new Import[]{}));
tsd.resolveImports();
}
Thanks again,

Subject: Re: Merging Type Systems
Hi,
we have used the type system merging feature for some of our pipelines.
(It came in handy because we needed some special features for the Token
type in our NER).

The way we achieved this was simply by importing the type system to be
merged in the type system descriptor of the overall type system.
So if you have two type systems t1, t2 you could create a third type
system t3 that simply imports t1 and t2.
TypeSystem ts = createCAS(tsDesc).getTypeSystem();
Your tsDesc would be t3 then.
Hope this helps,
