[jira] [Commented] (UIMA-4075) External Resources extension

["Marshall Schor (JIRA)" <de...@uima.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-4075?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14195247#comment-14195247 ] 

Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-4075:
--------------------------------------

External Resources are defined in the <resourceManagerConfiguration> element.

See: http://uima.apache.org/d/uimaj-2.6.0/references.html#ugr.ref.xml.component_descriptor.aes.primitive and scroll down to section 2.4.1.9

Part of the configuration for this is the "Resource Specifier".  The documentation discusses 3 alternatives for this, including a "customResourceSpecifier", which in turn is described here: http://uima.apache.org/d/uimaj-2.6.0/references.html#ugr.ref.xml.component_descriptor.custom_resource_specifiers

Custom Resource Specifiers may provide what you're looking for; they include a <parameters> element which has key-value pairs.

Would this work for what you want?

> UIMA offer a solution in order to access to external resources. Now a resource is initialized at startup time by reading external data from a file or via a URL. An external resource could be also example a database connection, database connection is composed by several parameters. 
> It would be nice if the external resource could hold a list of pairs <key-value> in order to offer more flexibility configuring external resources. The configuration parameters should be specified in descriptor file.
