Using in CPE

[Christoph Büscher <ch...@neofonie.de>]

Hi,

I have a few questions concerning the use of the <resourceManagerConfiguration> 
in a CPE, according to the "UIMA References, 3.8".

1. I am trying to overwrite the <externalResources> and 
<externalResourceBindings> from a TAE in the CPE. This seems to work if I use 
the "href=" property like in <resourceManagerConfiguration href="...">, but I'd 
like to do the whole Resource Manager Configuration inside the CPE descriptor. 
Is this generally possible with version 2.2.1?

2. If it is only possible to reference definitions and bindings for the external 
resources in a separate file via the "href=" attribute, is this also possible 
using the "import" machanism that searches for resources on the classpath? This 
would be very useful because the "href=..." mechanism only seems to expand 
relative paths according to the directory where the CPE has been started. This 
path, however, changes in our scenario in the development and the productive 
enviroment.

Any ideas or helpful hints?

The CPE is limited to just overriding the resource configuration parameters
for it's components.

You should be able to create a custom resource that implements whatever
behavior is desired. See section 2.8 in the same reference.
