Hello all, It seems the advantage of using the resource management features of UIMA is the ability for annotators to use the same instance of a resource interface in memory. However, from the description in the manual it seems that this may be only possible when all the annotators that use the same resource are in the same aggregate analysis engine descriptor. Is this true?
In particular, what happens if the annotators are loaded separately (using their respective descriptors where each one declares the same resource and binds it to the same interface)? Do they share memory for the interface? Or will there be two instances of the resource? Is it possible to make them share memory? Thanks! --Anton
