Florin, your problem is that you are using one CAS instance with asynch
sendCAS(). Your main() is calling sendCAS(CAS) where the CAS is being
serialized. Serialization is an expensive operation and on a slow machine
may exceed your 100ms sleep. While the CAS is being serialized you calling
reset() on it causing NPE.
You should use synchronous sendAndReceive() instead of sendCAS().
Alternatively, wait for a service to reply before sending another CAS. UIMA
AS client allows you to plug in a callback listener which is called when a
reply is received.
