It is difficult to find much help on this issue. It's quite specific - the
MetMap server runs on some port - presumably 8066. This port should be
included in the AE descriptor, but it was not there in descriptor provided
from the MetaMap installation. I had to add that, and the hostname parameter.
<nameValuePair>
<name>metamap_server_port</name>
<value>
<integer>8066</integer>
</value>
</nameValuePair>
<nameValuePair>
<name>metamap_server_host</name>
<value>
<string>127.0.0.1</string>
</value>
</nameValuePair>
Unfortunately, this does not resolve the issue. Since the material at
MetMap is quite vague, I'm not sure which server they mean - there are 3 in
the basic runtime: the WSD Server, the Tagger Server, and the mmserver
itself. I found the port of the TaggerServer, 1795, but changing this
doesn't help.
Has anyone ever gotten this to work?
