ResourceInitializationException: Initialization of MetaMapAnnotator failed

Hello all,

I'm trying to use UIMA MetaMap annotator and I am getting following error
when I run document Analyser:
org.apazhe.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException: Initialization of
annotator class "gov.nih.nlm.nls.metamap.uima.MetaMapAnnotator" failed.
cause by java.lang.RuntimException: Connection refused: connect: Check to
see if mmserver is running or if port and hostname specified for mmserver
are correct.

I am following steps from http://metamap.nlm.nih.gov/README_uima.html

Kindly let me know what is the error and how could it be resolved.

Regards
Deepal Dhariwal

It is difficult to find much help on this issue.  It's quite specific - the
MetMap server runs on some port - presumably 8066. This port should be
included in the AE descriptor, but it was not there in descriptor provided
from the MetaMap installation.  I had to add that, and the hostname parameter.

<nameValuePair>
        <name>metamap_server_port</name>
        <value>
          <integer>8066</integer>
        </value>
      </nameValuePair>
<nameValuePair>
        <name>metamap_server_host</name>
        <value>
          <string>127.0.0.1</string>
        </value>
      </nameValuePair>

Unfortunately, this does not resolve the issue.  Since the material at
MetMap is quite vague, I'm not sure which server they mean - there are 3 in
the basic runtime: the WSD Server, the Tagger Server, and the mmserver
itself.  I found the port of the TaggerServer, 1795, but changing this
doesn't help.

Has anyone ever gotten this to work?

I'm not sure, but from the error message, it appears that this annotator
attempts to connect to some service on the internet, and that attempt failed.

A possible thing to do is to look through the documentation for this annotator
and see if it describes some configuration data that you might have to set up
before it will work.
