There is no mechanism for a uima-as client to modify the result specification of a remote service. Since type/feature control cannot indicate many other behavioral characteristics, like speed vs accuracy tradeoffs, the suggested approach for dynamic control is to use dedicated feature structures in the submitted CAS.
