I don't know if this is it, but I'll offer it up just in case......could it be a type system mismatch? I've had problems in the past where I've deserialized CASes and the deserializer was set to "lenient" (which would only pull in the types the deserializer recognizes and ignores all others). The default for the XmiCasDeserializer is lenient=false, so, by default it should throw an exception if something mismatches.

This collection reader populates an annotation in the example namespace called SourceDocumentInformation (that has a uri that includes the full path to the original file). For some testing, we have a group of generated test xmi files that will be used as input. For this test pipeline we have a new CPE config that uses the XmiCollectionReader. In general this is working great! We get most of our saved annotations loaded into the CAS and everything works great! The problem we're having is that we've added the examples:SourceDocumentInformation annotation to the input test documents (xmi docs) along with the required xml namespace declaration (xmlns:examples="http:///org/apache/uima/examples.ecore";). Here's a sample (I've replace the real filename and input size with dummy data): <examples:SourceDocumentInformation xmi:id="10" sofa="1" begin="0" end="0" uri="file:/tmp/myfiles/0123.xmi" offsetInSource="0" documentSize="1234" lastSegment="false"/> However, this annotation isn't getting loaded. We can't see the value in our analysis engine, and we're writing these files out at the end with the example xmi writer and the SourceDocumentInformation annotation doesn't show up in the output xmi files. So it appears that this annotation isn't being loaded or it's being filtered out. No errors show up either. Any ideas? Has anyone run into this before? Thanks! Matt
