You got the point. I didn't tell UIMA to use my type system. In fact,
previously, I created the CAS as follow:
JCas jcas = JCasFactory.createJCas();
and then I executed the engine with a simple pipeline.
SimplePipeline.runPipeline(jcas, ae);
Now I've found a solution: I create the TypeSystemDescription in a manager
class, and I tell UIMA to use it
JCas jcas = JCasFactory.createJCas(tsd);
It works. The only thing remaining is to tell UIMA to use all the type
systems, not only the one I specified...but I'll figure it out.
Thank you.
