Thanks, Alexandre and Thorsten, for the pointer to AggregateBuilder.
I have thought about using uimaFIT, but I will wait for the 2.0.0 release.
The problem with the 10 views was just an example. My problem is more
generic where I can't influence the views nor the analysis engines.
I think my approach will work for now, but will be replaced with
something nicer, uimaFIT-based in future.
Best,

Yes, but imagine you have a CAS with 10 views and you want to apply a
primitive sofa-unaware AE on each view.
The easiest solution I found was to write a template AAE descriptor,
replaced the AE descriptor and sofa name (and mapping), instantiate the
AAE, call process(), and then repeat that for the next view.
This can get quite ugly, if you have to override parameters and you do
not know the primitive AE and its parameters.
If you are willing to use uimafit, you could do it in a simple for
loop. It would look like this :
// build an aggregate that will run the same analysis engine on many
sofas
final AggregateBuilder builder = new AggregateBuilder();
for (String sofa : sofas) {
final AnalysisEngineDescription annotator =
AnalysisEngineFactory.createPrimitiveDescription(YourEngine.class,
paramName1, paramValue1, paramName2, paramValue2, ...);
builder.add(annotator, "_InitialView", sofa);
}
final AnalysisEngine engine = builder.createAggregate();
// you can then user your engine
The documentation on the web site (
https://code.google.com/p/uimafit/) is quite good if you want more
information.

Yes, you can use the sofa mapping, to map some view to the
_InitialView.
Have a look here:

Hi,
sorry for this beginner question:
It there a shortcut to apply a sofa-unaware AE on CAS view that is not
the _InitialView?
It seems quite cumbersome to programmatically generate an aggregate
analysis engine description to wrap to sofa-unaware engine.
