Method Detail

processArgument

protected int processArgument(String[] args,
                              int current)
                       throws Exception

The only argument is <config_file_name>. This method will capture the config file name, and initialize the system when it does.

Specified by:

processArgument in class AbstractMain

Parameters:

args - the arguments.

current - the index of the current argument.

Returns:

the index of the next argument.

Throws:

IOException

Exception - if fatal error, throw an exception will cause a system exit.

getCommandSyntax

protected String getCommandSyntax()

Description copied from class: AbstractMain

This method will return a string which documents the command line arguments before a system exit.

Specified by:

getCommandSyntax in class AbstractMain

Returns:

the command line systex documented in a string.

processCommand

protected void processCommand(String line)
                       throws Exception

We can be processing menu commands, input file or directory names, output file or directory names, or we may be entering a string for NER processing directly. Input can come from a file or directory or standard out, output can to go to a file or a directory or standard out.

Specified by:

processCommand in class AbstractMain

Parameters:

line - the command to process.

Throws:

Exception

inputMenu

protected void inputMenu()

render the input menu to standard out.

Specified by:

inputMenu in class AbstractMain

main

public static void main(String[] args)

All we need to do is call the constructor, it will parse args, set everything up and run itself (it is a thread).

Parameters:

args - the command arguents, in this case only a config file.
