Hello!
  I'm using UIMA 2.3.1 and I have a similar problem(client hang out) when:
1. Using the CAS pool to get/create the new CASes using
UimaAsynchronousEngine.getCas()
2. using UimaAsynchronousEngine.sendAndReceiveCAS
3. The pipeline is having an AAE and two Remote AEs connected to it
4. Pipeline is running correctly
By looking

It seems to me that the engine is hanging waiting to create in new CAS, as
in the code:
 cas = engine.getCAS();


Looking with the jconsole, I can  see the following:

State: WAITING on java.util.concurrent.Semaphore$NonfairSync@5e9de959
Total blocked: 3  Total waited: 5

Stack trace:
sun.misc.Unsafe.park(Native Method)
java.util.concurrent.locks.LockSupport.park(LockSupport.java:158)
java.util.concurrent.locks.AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.parkAndCheckInterrupt(AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.java:811)
java.util.concurrent.locks.AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.doAcquireShared(AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.java:941)
java.util.concurrent.locks.AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.acquireShared(AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.java:1261)
java.util.concurrent.Semaphore.acquireUninterruptibly(Semaphore.java:309)
*
org.apache.uima.adapter.jms.client.BaseUIMAAsynchronousEngineCommon_impl$CasQueueEntry.getCas(BaseUIMAAsynchronousEngineCommon_impl.java:656)
*
The bolded text seems to be the reason of the hanging.

Can you please look over it? Also, can you please explain better than the
existing documentation, what is the mechanism behind the CAS pool used by
the client BaseUIMAAsynchronousEngineCommon in the following terms:

1. what should be the pool size depending on the hw?
2. how CAS lifecycle is managed by the pool? Maning creting a new one,
releasing, getting from the pool.

I look forward for you answers.

Regards,
  Florin
