Timur,

Here is what I did to load an existing cas from its cas.xmi file, also using
its Type Description file.

         //get typeSystemDescription
         Object descriptor = UIMAFramework.getXMLParser().parse(new
XMLInputSource(inputTypeSystemFile));
         // instantiate CAS to get type system. Also build style. map file
if there is none.
         TypeSystemDescription tsDesc = (TypeSystemDescription) descriptor;
         tsDesc.resolveImports();
         CAS cas = CasCreationUtils.createCas(tsDesc, null, new
FsIndexDescription[0]);

         SAXParser parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
         XmiCasDeserializer xmiCasDeserializer = new
XmiCasDeserializer(cas.getTypeSystem());
         parser.parse(inputCasFile, xmiCasDeserializer.getXmiCasHandler(cas,
true));

Re: Opening a Cas.xmi file and using it to create a CAS object

This can be done with the XmiCollectionReader in the examples folder.  You
may just need to modify its descriptor to address your input files, or you
can copy the deserialization code from
examples/src/org/apache/uima/examples/xmi
