           throws java.io.IOException,
                  BioException,
                  ParserException

Informs handler of each line of gff read from bReader. This form of the method should only be used if no locator string is available for the resource being parsed.

Parameters:

bReader - the BufferedReader to parse

handler - the GFF3DocumentHandler that will listen for 'stuff'

ontology - an Ontology that all terms should come from

Throws:

- class="type">IOException if for any reason bReader throws one

- class="type">BioException if handler can not correct a parse error

java.io.IOException

BioException

ParserException
