public ParseResult parse(Content content)
                  throws ParseException

Parameters:

content - The content to try and parse.

Returns:

<key, Parse> pairs.

Throws:

ParseException - If no suitable parser is found to perform the parse.

parseByExtensionId

public ParseResult parseByExtensionId(String extId,
                             Content content)
                               throws ParseException

Method parses a Content object using the Parser specified by the parameter extId, i.e., the Parser's extension ID. If a suitable Parser is not found, then a WARNING level message is logged, and a ParseException is thrown. If the parse is uncessful for any other reason, then a WARNING level message is logged, and a ParseStatus.getEmptyParse() is returned.

Parameters:

extId - The extension implementation ID of the Parser to use to parse the specified content.

content - The content to parse.

Returns:

<key, Parse> pairs if the parse is successful, otherwise, a single <key, ParseStatus.getEmptyParse()> pair.

Throws:

ParseException - If there is no suitable Parser found to perform the parse.
