Can you just write out the component descriptor to a file and pass that to
the factory? I think you need a path since
the underlying code needs uima-style include which supports import by name
or location. Perhaps CPE can do this for you
with a new API you are suggesting but I the quickest path for you is to
create a file from string.
public static CpeComponentDescriptor produceComponentDescriptor(String
aPath) {
CpeComponentDescriptor componentDescriptor = new
CpeComponentDescriptorImpl();
CpeInclude include = new CpeIncludeImpl();
include.set(aPath);
componentDescriptor.setInclude(include);
return componentDescriptor;
}
