Add webapp mode for Tika Server, simplifies deployment
------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-894
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-894
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: packaging
Affects Versions: 1.1, 1.2
Reporter: Chris Wilson
For use in production services, Tika Server should really be deployed as a WAR
file, under a reliable servlet container that knows how to run as a system
service, for example Tomcat or JBoss.
This is especially important on Windows, where I wasted an entire day trying to
make TikaServerCli run as some kind of a service.
Maven makes building a webapp pretty trivial. With the attached patch applied,
"mvn war:war" should work. It seems to run fine in Tomcat, which makes Windows
deployment much simpler. Just install Tomcat and drop the WAR file into
tomcat's webapps directory and you're away.
