public class APH

extends FDH

implements AP

This is the class that implements the AP interface and is implemented in the form of a HashMap as it is inherrited from the FDH class. This class consists of methods and constructors to set the required components of a AP. User can either use the APFactoryH class or directly use the constructor of this class to create instances of APH.

APH(FD head)

Constructor Detail

APH

public APH()

The default constructor. It calls the inherrited constructor so that it can be hashed into the hash map. By default, any APH object must have a FD entry (cat ap) to symbolize that it is an AP object.

APH

public APH(java.lang.String lex)
    throws InvalidConstructorException

The constructor which takes in a lexical entry as parameter. If the lexical entry is entered incorrectly, an InvalidConstructorException will be thrown.

Parameters:

lex - the lexical entry represented as a string.

Throws:

InvalidConstructorException -

APH

public APH(FD head)
    throws InvalidConstructorException

The constructor which takes in a head entry as parameter.

Parameters:

head - the head entry represented as a FD object

Throws:

InvalidConstructorException -

Method Detail

setLex

public void setLex(java.lang.String lex)

A method to set the lexical entry of the AP

Specified by:

setLex in interface AP

Parameters:

lex - the lexical entry of the AP

setHead

public void setHead(FD head)

A method to set the head of the AP. This is used when the head cannot be represented by a single word. Otherwise, use setLex() instead.

Specified by:

setHead in interface AP

Parameters:

head - a FD representation of the head
