Hello Himanshu,

yes, no and maybe.

Yes: you can use "Sofa mapping". You should find corresponding configuratio=
n possibilities
on aggregate analysis engines and in the CPEs.

In uimaFIT you'd want to look at the AggregateBuilder:

http://uimafit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/apidocs/org/uimafit/factory/Aggrega=
teBuilder.html

No: a Sofa mapping only maps a particular named view to the default view of=
 an AE, it cannot
pass one view after the other to an AE.

Maybe: if you don't mind, you should be able to have your process three tim=
es in an aggregate and
every time you map another view to its default view.

Cheers,

-- Richard
