Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1612: ----------------------------------- Not sure how we want to fix this. To make this parallel to our handling of other embedded files, we'd just swallow the exception...I really don't like that option. Recommendations? > Exceptions getting image data in PPT files > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: TIKA-1612 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1612 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Tim Allison > Priority: Minor > > In numerous (~500) ppt files in govdocs1, we're getting zip exceptions > (unknown compression method, bad block, etc) when Tika's HSLFExtractor calls > {{getData()}} on an embedded image. > Under normal circumstances (I just learned today...), if an attachment causes > a RuntimeException, we are currently swallowing that in > {{ParsingEmbeddedDocumentExtractor}}. > However, because we're calling {{getData()}} before the embedded extractor > takes over, if there is an exception there, the parse of the entire file > fails. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
