Otis Gospodnetic commented on TIKA-593: --------------------------------------- Out of curiosity, why not just have a simple webapp (war) that uses Tika that reads the InputStream and spits back the data in whatever format is needed/specified? Sure, it requires a servlet container, but is that really a big deal? Just asking because it seems a tiny bit simpler than using Netty or Mina or HttpComponents or embedded Jetty or Grizzly. > Tika network server > ------------------- > > Key: TIKA-593 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-593 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: general > Reporter: Jukka Zitting > Assignee: Jukka Zitting > > It would be cool to be able to run Tika as a network service that accepts a > binary document as input and produces the extracted content (as XHTML, text, > or just metadata) as output.

This way a lightweight client could use the full set of Tika > parsing functionality even with just the tika-core jar within its classpath. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
