If you are willing to use uimafit, you could do it in a simple for loop. 
It would look like this :

    // build an aggregate that will run the same analysis engine on many
    sofas
    final AggregateBuilder builder = new AggregateBuilder();
    for (String sofa : sofas) {
         final AnalysisEngineDescription annotator =
    AnalysisEngineFactory.createPrimitiveDescription(YourEngine.class,
    paramName1, paramValue1, paramName2, paramValue2, ...);
         builder.add(annotator, "_InitialView", sofa);
    }

    final AnalysisEngine engine = builder.createAggregate();
    // you can then user your engine


The documentation on the web site ( https://code.google.com/p/uimafit/) 
is quite good if you want more information.
