net.didion.jwnl exceptions

[ramyaa shri]

hi
am doing a semantic annalysis using wordnet in eclipse.(ie) it extracts all related synsets for a particular word.

my code is:


import java.io.*;
import net.didion.jwnl.JWNL;
import net.didion.jwnl.data.*;
import net.didion.jwnl.dictionary.Dictionary;

public class synsetcatch {
private static Dictionary dict = null;

static
{
try
{
JWNL.initialize(new FileInputStream("C:\\Users\\255388\\Desktop\\b\\Bh arathi\\jwnl14-rc1\\jwnl14-rc1\\config\\file_properties.xml"));//this is where properties.xml file is located

System.out.println("WordNet Initialized");
dict = Dictionary.getInstance();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

public static void main(String args[])
{
int i = 1;

try
{
IndexWord iw = Dictionary.getInstance().lookupIndexWord(POS.NOUN, "balance");
//System.out.println("Index Word : "+ iw.toString());
System.out.println(iw.getSenseCount()+"Senses of balance");
for(Synset s:iw.getSenses())
{
System.out.println("Sense : " + i);
for(Word w:s.getWords())
{
System.out.println(w.getLemma()+","); //gives the words of each sense

} //for
System.out.println("\\n\\n");
i++;
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
} //main
} //class


and when i debug i get the followin error:

Hi,

Check in our file_properties.xml file and set your dictionary path correctly as well as your version of wordnet. It should work then. :)

hey thanks!!!!

but my error got solved only when i changed the name of the files in the dict folder (eg index.adv to adv.idx, index.sense to sense.idx). these files are located in the dict folder where ever your wordnet is installed.

I have another doubt . Is it possible to develop a domain specific dictionary (for example say a dictionary related to finance ,accounts) in wordnet. Is some thing available or can it be developed in wordnet.

please clarify.
