Method Detail

linkSentence

public java.util.Vector linkSentence(java.util.Vector wordPackages)
                              throws GrammarParseException

Links the words in the Vector wordPackages. Each call will start with an empty grammar stack and, upon completion, the grammar will be cleared.

The grammar package may contain zero to many valid parsings. If no parsings are returned, the sentence is not valid for the given grammar. If a valid grammar is found, the return Vector will contain an entry for each valid sentence. So if two valid parsings were found, the return Vector would contain two entries. Each entry returned in the return Vector is itself a Vector containing the list of links that combine the words.

Parameters:

wordPackages - words to link together.

Returns:

Vector of Vectors containing the links between the words. Each of the first Vector is list of parsings, containing a Vector of all links.

Throws:

GrammarParseException - an error occured while parsing the sentence.
