Description

Current Uima AS client code doesn't support synchronous call to a Cas Multiplier. The provided API sendAndReceive() expects to see a single response from a service, which is not working with CM.

The client API needs to be extended to support returning an iterator over CASes to be consistent with the uima core. Unfortunately, java prevents overloading based on return types, so we may need to add a new method. Can't change the existing method for backwards compatibility.
