Hi all -
I was able to solve this, I want to mention it here so if others come
across the same issue hopefully it will be of a help. Apparently, I was
packaging my PEAR with uima jar files when I used the eclispe plugin
generator, excluding them from install.xml is not enough to avoid this
problem. So when you generate a PEAR file, please make sure the uima
jars are completely excluded.
Thanks

Hi
I also would like to add that in my setup, the PEAR package has my
annotators binaries as compiled classes (*.class files) rather than a
jar file. I'm not sure if this is causing this, but I can tell that
servlet is finding the class because it is not raising Class Not Found
exception.

Hello all -
I'm trying to use UIMA SimpleServer servlet to create a RESTful web service
for my pipeline. I'm following this guide:
http://uima.apache.org/downloads/sandbox/simpleServerUserGuide/simpleServerUser
Guide.html#sandbox.simpleServer
However, I am getting this exception:
org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException:
The class SimpleTokenizer
is not a valid Analysis Component.
You must specify an Annotator, CAS
Consumer, Collection Reader, or CAS Multiplier. If you are calling
ResourceManager.setExtensionClassPath, this error can also be caused
if you have put UIMA framework jar files on the extension classpath,
which is not allowed.
In my case, SimpleTokenizer extends JCasAnnotator_ImplBase. I've tried to
package with and without UIMA jar files in the PEAR file, and tried to
both include them and exclude them from the classpath (in install.xml).
I also made sure that the UIMA versions are consistent across the web
application and the UIMA application. But I'm still unable to get the
web application up and running. I will appreciate any help.
Thanks!
