Hi Jeffery, According the info at http://uima.apache.org/d/uimaj-2.6.0/tutorials_and_users_guides.html#ugr.tug.aae.result_specification_setting
"The default Result Specification is taken from the Engine's output Capability Specification." So it should be possible to deploy the UIMA-AS service with a particular ResultSpecification, if a static configuration is all that is needed. Using the ResultSpecification to control annotator behavior is quite limited; consider wanting a speed vs accuracy knob. A more general static solution would be based on configuration parameters, and a dynamic solution would put control information into the CAS.
