Girish,

I have done exactly the same thing as you minus step 2 below without any problems. The only caveat being that this didn't seem (as I recall) to trigger my analysis engines initialize() method and so I had to reread the parameter in my analysis engine's process() method.
I don't know how helpful this kind of feedback is....

Hi All,

I am still stuck here. 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?

Thanks,

Subject: Problem reconfiguring after setting a config parameter value

Hi All,

I am using the following code to set the value for the 'ChunkCreaterClass' 
parameter. 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
