DicionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml is also a file I've not changed, and it does 
reference LookupDesc_csv_sample.xml:

      <externalResource>
        <name>LookupDescriptorFile</name>
        <description/>
        <fileResourceSpecifier>
          
<fileUrl>file:org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/LookupDesc_csv_sample.xml</fileUrl>
        </fileResourceSpecifier>
        
<implementationName>org.apache.ctakes.core.resource.FileResourceImpl</implementationName>
      </externalResource>

The only files that contain "LookupDesc_Db.xml" are 
DictionaryLookupAnnotatorDB.xml and DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml, as the 
corresponding fileResourceSpecifier for their LookupDescriptorFile 
configuration.

Perhaps I should reiterate that I am not "just using 
DicionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml", I am trying to use it to supplement UMLS, and 
perhaps that's getting things confused. Or perhaps I'm just misunderstanding 
you?

Richard,
If I’m not mistaken, if you’re just using DicionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml, then 
it should reference Something like: 
file:org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/LookupDesc_csv_sample.xml for the 
lookup descriptor Where there is something like 
externalResourceKey="DictionaryFile" defined in DicionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml 
Rather than something like LookupDesc_Db.xml (DbConnection).

I did not change LookupDesc_Db.xml; I’ve been wondering if there’s something I 
should have added there. The intended CSV dictionary – which I haven’t changed 
yet – is just the provided dictionary1.csv referenced in 
…\apache-ctakes-3.1.1\desc\ctakes-dictionary-lookup\desc\analysis_engine\DictionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml.

Here’s all I’ve changed, as per my understanding of the recommendation:

You would add the following to the delegateAnalysisEngine list of [a copy of] 
AggregatePlainTextUMLSProcessor.xml

<delegateAnalysisEngine key="DictionaryLookupAnnotator"> <import 
location="../../../ctakes-dictionary-lookup/desc/analysis_engine/DictionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml"/>
</delegateAnalysisEngine>

And then add
<node>DictionaryLookupAnnotator</node>
Just before or just after
<node>DictionaryLookupAnnotatorDB</node>

Richard,
Would it be possible to attach the customized LookupDesc_Db.xml?
In particular, did you just add your CSV dictionary file (in addition to the 
existing DbConnection resources?)  If so, then I believe you’ll still need to 
include them in your descriptor:
Take a look at 
ctakes-dictionary-lookup/desc/analysis_engine/DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml 
as an example.

HTH.

Subject: run-time error in processing LookupDesc_Db.xml

I received advice on this list from James Masanz to add a couple things to 
AggregatePlainTextUMLSProcessor.xml, in order to add a CSV dictionary lookup to 
my cTAKES processing. I chose to instead make a copy of 
AggregatePlainTextUMLSProcessor.xml with the additions, and pointed Run > Load 
AE at that new file. This resulted in a quite uninformative run-time error 
which I reported but no-one has offered any suggestions on.

I’ve now set up Eclipse with all the needed plugins and cTAKES files – a 
challenge in itself – in order to try to isolate the problem somewhat. The 
error seems to occur in the 2nd invocation of 
DictionaryLookupAnnotator.configInit(), with the complaint while processing 
…\workspace\ctakes\ctakes-dictionary-lookup-res\target\classes\org\apache\ctakes\dictionary\lookup\LookupDesc_Db.xml
that it is “Unable to find external resource with key:DbConnection”. 

Digging a bit further, it looks like the 1st time it constructs a QualifiedName 
it constructs  “/DictionaryLookupAnnotatorDB/DbConnection” which it is able to 
find, but the 2nd time it constructs “/DictionaryLookupAnnotator/DbConnection” 
which it is not. This second time is due to the recommended addition of
    <delegateAnalysisEngine key="DictionaryLookupAnnotator">
      <import 
location="../../../ctakes-dictionary-lookup/desc/analysis_engine/DictionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml"/>
    </delegateAnalysisEngine>

in the AE file. 

Please advise.
