UIMA supports defining overrides in aggregates [1] such that parameter of a component within an aggregate can be exposed as an aggregate parameter. uimaFIT has no explicit support for this, but the descriptors that uimaFIT creates are regular UIMA descriptors and you should be able to locate the proper methods to define overrides on an aggregate descriptor returned by uimaFIT. What I do not know is whether these overrides remain in effect after the aggregate has been instantiated - i.e. whether you can call reconfigure() on the aggregate such that it would transitively reconfigure the delegate engines in the aggregate. ... but you could try it :) (or somebody more in the know may tell us) Best, -- Richard [1] https://uima.apache.org/d/uimaj-current/references.html#ugr.ref.xml.component_descriptor.aes.aggregate.configuration_parameter_overrides
