The aggregate is not quite like that:
_InitialView
-> urlString (input sofa of pdfextractor)
plainText
<- "extractedText" output sofa/view from pdfextractor
-> goes to "_InitialView" input of email annotator

When I tested the 1st delegate alone with SimpleServer, it did not output
what I expected. In the SimpleServer UI, you can choose what kind of output
you want, and I chose "Inline XML". I got as a Result then:
<Result> http://input-text/url-to-the.pdf </Result>
But this result came back faster than the component could have processed the
input (it should have taken 3 seconds at least, instead of a few milliseconds).
So the 1st delegate independantly did not work, while the 2nd delegate did.

I assume that I would do this in my own code. (As in, I wouldn't touch the
code of the SimpleServer). Alright, I'll try to do that and see what comes out.
Thanks alot for your help!
