Is there some reason that ChunkCreatorClass needs to be set dynamically? It isn't hacky to change the descriptor as part of a static configuration.

My backup option is to alter the descriptor xml before building an analysis engine with it, but it is kinda hacky, so was hoping for a cleaner solution. Can any of the developers chime in?

I had to add line (2) because without it I was getting a UIMA_IllegalStateException due to the session being null. I am not quite sure if that is the way you set a new session. In any case I stopped getting that error. But now I get a nullpointerexception error ( trace shown below the code). I had a breakpoint set in the ConfigurationManagerImplBase.validateConfigurationParameterSettings method to see what was happening. It entered the method multiple times to validate each AEs params. The first set of calls was triggered after line (1). And it went through smoothly. The next set was triggered after line (4) which threw an exception immediately for the "/" context. Within the implementation of the validateConfigurationParameterSettings method. I see that ConfigurationParameterDeclarations comes up null for the "/" context. Not quite sure what I am doing wrong. Any ideas?? CODE: (1)AnalysisEngine ae = UIMAFramework.produceAnalysisEngine(specifier); (2)ae.getUimaContextAdmin().setSession(new Session_impl()); (3)ae.setConfigParameterValue("ChunkCreaterClass", "Something"); (4)ae.reconfigure(); Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.uima.resource.impl.ConfigurationManagerImplBase.validateConfi gurationParameterSettings(ConfigurationManagerImplBase.java:488) at org.apache.uima.resource.impl.ConfigurationManagerImplBase.reconfigure(C onfigurationManagerImplBase.java:235) at org.apache.uima.resource.ConfigurableResource_ImplBase.reconfigure(Confi gurableResource_ImplBase.java:70) Thanks. _______________ Girish Chavan, MSIS Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) University of Pittsburgh UPMC Cancer Pavilion, 302D 5150 Centre Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15232 Office: 412-623-4084 Email: [email protected]
