Hi,

I checked the logs again - I got no Exceptions. Just tried it with 10
Threads with the same result. Did you use the modified deployment
descriptor in your tests?
The hang only occurs with the <analysisEngine>- Tag defined in the
deployment descriptor.

Below is the sample descriptor of the Meeting Detector Aggregate:

thx

Dietmar
