Sometimes, tika not working (crashed) because of null classloader -----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-441 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-441 Project: Tika Issue Type: Bug Components: general Environment: MS Windows with tika running under Apache Commons Daemon (procrun) Reporter: Alex Ott Priority: Minor Fix For: 0.8 Attachments: classloader-fix.diff I used Tika inside application, that should run as MS Windows service via Apache Commons Daemon - procrun (http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html). When it was running under procrun, then Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() returned null instead ClassLoader's instance. I made a workaround in my app by explicitly setting classloader for current thread. I'll attach fix, that should use system class loader if getContextClassLoader will return null -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
