Hi, Did you read and understand the UIMA-AS Getting Started? You can find a link to it on the Documentation page (scroll to the bottom), or just use this link http://uima.apache.org/doc-uimaas-what.html
It describes the relationship of the two descriptors. The basic idea: The descriptor you point to with topDescriptor is a **non-UIMA-AS** plain UIMA descriptor - it doesn't have any information about deploying in a "scaled-out" environment using UIMA-AS. The UIMA-AS descriptor is intended to re-use the plain UIMA descriptor, but add information to it that describes scale-out details (only). That's why there are two. -Marshall On 12/21/2011 11:51 AM, David Garcia Narbona wrote: > Hi, > > I am having a look at > /apache-uima-as-2.3.1/examples/deploy/as/Deploy_MeetingDetectorTAE_RemoteRoomNumber.xml > descriptor. > > I don't quite understand the descriptor. > A list of the AS components can be found into "<delegates>" tag.
