Tika-server bundle includes wrong
META-INF/services/org.apache.tika.parser.Parser, doesn't work
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-893
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-893
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: packaging
Affects Versions: 1.1, 1.2
Environment: Apache Maven 2.2.1 (rdebian-6)
Java version: 1.6.0_26
Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26/jre
Default locale: en_GB, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux" version: "3.0.0-17-generic-pae" arch: "i386" Family: "unix"
Reporter: Chris Wilson
Both vorbis-java-tika-0.1.jar and tika-parsers-1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar include
different copies of META-INF/services/org.apache.tika.parser.Parser, which the
auto-detecting parser needs to configure itself.
AFAIK, only one of these can be included in a standalone OSGi JAR, as they both
have the same filename.
On my system at least, the vorbis one gets included in the JAR, and not the
tika-parsers one.
This means that the Tika server is capable of auto-detecting Vorbis files, but
not Microsoft Office files, which is completely broken from my POV.
Unless the (undocumented) Bnd contains some way to merge these files, I suggest
either:
* excluding the one from vorbis-java-tika (easy but removes Vorbis
auto-detection);
* bundling vorbis-java-tika as an embedded JAR instead of inlined (might work?);
* including a manually combined copy of both manifests in
tika-server/src/main/resources (ugly, requires maintenance);
* finding or writing a maven plugin to merge these files (outside my maven-fu).
My simple workaround, which probably removes Vorbis support completely, is this
patch:
{code:xml|title=tika-server/pom.xml.patch}
