Hello,
I have been working with Gate for a couple of years and really like your Semantic Assistants Architecture. I have only had limited success with the installations. I realize you built this at an earlier time, and some functionality might no longer be available. I could install my own server but would prefer to use your public one. Here are some questions:
1. The documentation refers to minion.cs.concordia.ca:8879 but I don't think that is currently working. For example, I can get the wsdl by putting assistant.cs.concordia.ca:8879/SemAssist?wsdl in a browser, but cannot get it with the minion address. With the installed eclipse client I can get a list of 2 available services (Person and Location Extractor and Information Extractor) on the assistant server, but get server errors when I try to invoke either one or when I choose to run the gate service. Is there currently a working server url and port which will allow the invocation?
2. I get illegal parameter errors when I input parameters for invoking one of the 2 services using SOAP UI. Can you give me a sample of parameters to fill in below that will work? For example, can I leave the optional parameters all blank? Is ConnID 0L correct? What about the documents tag, etc.? (I have omitted the xml tag angle brackets below since they show
up incorrectly on this form).

3. For Liferay, the documentation refers to a SemanticAssistantTheme.war file from your public distribution, but I cannot find that anywhere. Can you post it, or tell me how to quickly build and deploy it from your distribution?
Thank you, I really appreciate your help.
