I checked in some code to wrap the REST server in a docker container. The good news is, it lets you run a ctakes rest server with a pretty simple build command that should be system independent! The bad news is, the image is 16Gb, and it has a hard time running on a machine with 8Gb. So this is a work in progress, but if anyone wants to try it I'd be happy to hear how it works for you. It is in ctakes-web-rest/docker. Just run: docker build -t ctakes-web-rest . from that directory, then run: start_rest.sh It will take a while for the server to start up because it needs to unpack the .war file and initialize all the UIMA modules. If you run: docker logs <container id> you will be able to see how much progress it has made. Once it's started you can navigate in a web browser to localhost:8080/ctakes-web-rest and you should see it. Or from a REST client api the url will be localhost:8080/ctakes-web-rest/service/analyze

It's 100x easier for me to change an existing version that runs than to write it from scratch since I don't really know REST that well, so thanks for contributing that code. That's the beauty of open source teams with different expertise!

Have left my comments in the JIRA issue. Sorry that I could not improvise on the REST module which is more suitable for our business needs due to lack of domain expertise. Regards, Gandhi -----Original Message----- From: Miller, Timothy <timothy.mil...@childrens.harvard.edu<mailto:timothy.mil...@childrens.harvard.edu>> Sent: Friday, December 21, 2018 1:54 AM To: dev@ctakes.apache.org<mailto:dev@ctakes.apache.org> Subject: ctakes-web-rest changes Hello all, I've been trying out the ctakes-web-rest module for a project that uses python where I wanted an easy way to send a sentence and get back some CUI annotations. There was an issue where the returned json map was keyed by the string of the concept, so it would only return one discovered concept if more than one had the same string. In the course of fixing that I noticed the code was writing the CAS to xmi, then manually parsing that file, rather than just interrogating the JCas object, so I rewrote that as well to use uimafit. Finally, I commented out the "full" pipeline -- it is just too resource heavy to try to run 2 independent pipelines in parallel on the same machine. I think the state of the module right now is suitable for people who want to try and would make their own changes if they want different pipelines (i.e., it's not yet shrink-wrapped) so I would prefer it in a state with a simple pipeline that runs well. Please take a look at the following issue with the attached patch and let me know if there are any obvious problems. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__issues. apache.org_jira_browse_CTAKES-2D529&d=DwIGaQ&c=qS4goWBT7poplM69zy_ 3xhKwEW14JZMSdioCoppxeFU&r=Heup-IbsIg9Q1TPOylpP9FE4GTK- OqdTDRRNQXipowRLRjx0ibQrHEo8uYx6674h&m=k-ebO4GxtYSuyXd6BYi7jXvTFAafL_ nm1IIPeVzHdKA&s=yHIpAw72nyKeovPpQpuIFW1AxiENG54X5iOIKTtxtto&e= Overall, it's in nice shape and I'm excited to get it into a usable shape, I think this is a use case that would satisfy a lot of users.
