Would be nice to see the big picture, how the JMS services are integrated into the full pipeline. Sounds like you have two, separate, "remote" JMS annotators, which are being called from an aggregate on a "local" client. And guessing that there is sofamapping on the aggregate, for the two remote delegates?
Anyway, sofamapping currently does not work across to remote services. The workaround is to wrap a remote annotator in an aggregate with the same sofamapping specified there as in the local client. Note also that by setting sofa capabilities in its descriptor, an annotator is declaring itself "view aware", which changes the View delivered to the annotator's process method. A view aware annotator receives something called a base CAS which does not have a sofa, and has to use getView to work with real views.
