Using configuration parameter within regex validator

Hi,

I am trying to use the Validation for the Regex annotator. For validation I
need to use a threshold value and I want it to be configurable. I can
declare that as a configuration parameter, but is there a way to access that
configuration parameter within the regex validator?

If not then I think the only solution is to write my own Annotator and then
use the initialize method to access the configuration from the UIMA context.
What would you suggest?

Regards,
Anuj

Thanks Marshall. Later, I wanted to generate the regex dynamically as well,
so as of now I have written my own annotator for those cases.

Anuj

This seems like a good approach - you could subclass the
RegularExpressionAnnotator, and add the bits you need.
