Getting non-annotations (e.g. TOP) from a CAS

Hello folks,

after upgrading to UIMA 2.3.0, I notice that all (J)CAS access methods I found so far (including indexes)
always return Annotation or AnnotationFS.

How can one get access now to types that directly inherit from TOP?

Cheers,

Richard

Re: uima-as

I've played around with UIMA-AS recently and managed so far to locally deploy a component and run it. Now,
what would interest me is if the automatic deployment /undeployment of components to remote machines is
part of the scope of UIMA-AS. To me it seems not - which means that whatever service I have need to be set up and
basically being kept running indefinitely.

Are you people using static UIMA-AS scenarios or dynamically deployed ones?

Cheers,

Richard

Do you get a compiler error in your existing source code after updating ?

Which log level do you suggest for tracing these problems
in a production system ?

LREC Workshop "New Challenges for NLP Frameworks" - 2nd Call for Papers

======================================================================

   2nd Call for Papers

   New Challenges for NLP Frameworks, a workshop at LREC 2010

   22 May 2010, La Valleta, Malta

   http://nlpframeworks2010.semanticsoftware.info

======================================================================

Natural language processing frameworks like GATE and UIMA have
significantly changed the way NLP applications are designed,
developed, and deployed. Features such as component-based design,
test-driven development, and resource meta-descriptions now routinely
provide higher robustness, better reusability, faster deployment, and
improved scalability. They have become the staple of both NLP
research and industrial application, fostering a new generation of
NLP users and developers.

Nevertheless, after more than a decade of the current generation of
NLP frameworks, the NLP research and application landscape is
shifting. This brings new challenges to both the developers of NLP
frameworks and their users.  Driving forces include in particular:

- Social Media

- Interoperability needs between different NLP frameworks,
 components, and resources

All access methods should still work.  What exactly does
no longer work for you?

Re: AE parameters don't change

Well I tried again but still have the same bug.

After changing AE parameters programatically how to tell the CPE (before or
when calling it) to look if the AE changed or not ?

maybe you deserve the cas.getFSIndexRepository().getAllIndexedFS(TYPE); ?

We are using two fairly lightweight methods for remote service
deployment. One is some custom code using ssh to launch scripts on
remote nodes. The other wraps UIMA-AS application clients and services
as servlets and uses a distributed application server platform to
manage them.

The servlet wrapper can be easily made based on the UIMA_Service
class. It is a little more complicated to automatically create a WAR
file from a UIMA Pear. Hopefully at some point we can clean up what we
have and add it to SVN.
