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.

> Key: TIKA-593

> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: general
> Reporter: 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. A bit like TIKA-169, but without the dependency
> to a servlet container.
> I'd like to be able to set up and run such a server like this:
> $ java -jar tika-app.jar --port 1234
> We should also add a NetworkParser class that acts as a local client for such
> a service. This way a lightweight client could use the full set of Tika
> parsing functionality even with just the tika-core jar within its classpath.
