Hello,

I am currently working on an open source project and we would like to
use Stanbol in order to find matching keywords/topics for web sites
(i.e. content classification). However, we are having some troubles
setting up Stanbol in the right way - maybe someone here could help
us?

What we have done so far: Build and start stanbol from SVN trunk
according to the "Getting Started Tutorial" and do some quick
enhancement queries - which works perfectly fine (after updating the
maven config to use maven-shade 2.1 instead of 2.0 - there seems to be
an incompatibility with maven 3.1.1 otherwise). However all the
default chains seem to create Text-/TopicAnnotations only but not a
single TopicAnnotation (which would be the kind of annotation which
would fit our needs best, if I understand the docs correctly).

So we found the topic engine
(http://www.iks-project.eu/sites/default/files/Topic-Classification.pdf)
and tried to install it. However, we encountered a few problems with
that:
-) The paths mentioned in the docs (see PDF link) are a little
different and the topic engine now seems to be splitted up in 3 parts
(api, web and engine). Okay, so we installed all three of them.
-) While the topic API bundle can be started, the web and engine
bundles can not (log messages:
https://gist.github.com/groe/208536f121ea562e1d09). So, the packages
"javax.ws.rs..." and "org.apache.stanbol.enhancer.topic" seem to be
missing. We tried some things to get that to work as well (like
removing this from the pom.xml of the engine bundle:
https://gist.github.com/groe/1bb119dc7e04ae29b40e and adding
"jsr311-api" as a maven dependency for the javax.ws.rs package), and
eventually all three bundles were installed (although not sure if
correctly).
-) With everything installed we have created the topic engine
configuration (as described in the PDF). But when visiting
http://localhost:8080/topic we only get this error message:
https://gist.github.com/groe/d0acf569ec719947ee89

Now we don't know what else we can try. Is this an actual (known?)
problem with the topic engine? Is it still maintained at all? Any
chances of getting it to run?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Benjamin Groessing
