Method Detail

getMultiOutput

public ACEParserResult getMultiOutput(java.lang.String text,
                                      Lexicon lexicon,
                                      OutputType... outputTypes)

Description copied from class: ACEParser

Returns multiple outputs for the given ACE text using the given lexicon. See the enumeration OutputType for further information about the possible outputs. The result is returned as an ACEParserResult object.

Specified by:

getMultiOutput in class ACEParser

Parameters:

text - The ACE text to be parsed.

lexicon - The lexicon to be loaded.

outputTypes - The kind of outputs that should be returned.

Returns:

A ParserResult object containing the outputs.

getSoloOutput

public java.lang.String getSoloOutput(java.lang.String text,
                                      Lexicon lexicon,
                                      OutputType outputType)
                               throws ACEParserException

Description copied from class: ACEParser

Returns one single output for the given ACE text using the given lexicon. See the enumeration OutputType for further information about the possible outputs. If parsing succeeds then a string containing the result of the parser is returned. In the case of failure, an ACEParserException is thrown containing the error messages.

Specified by:

getSoloOutput in class ACEParser

Parameters:

text - The ACE text to be parsed.

lexicon - The lexicon to be loaded.

outputType - The kind of output that should be returned.

Returns:

The result as a string.

Throws:

ACEParserException - Contains the error messages if an error occurred.
