Package org.apache.tika.parser.external2

Class ExternalParser

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tika.parser.external2.ExternalParser
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Initializable, Parser
public class ExternalParser extends Object implements Parser, Initializable
This is a next generation external parser that uses some of the more recent additions to Tika. This is an experimental alternative to the ExternalParser. Specifically, it relies more on configuration than the SPI model. Further, users can specify a parser to handle the output of the external process.

    • getSupportedTypes

      public Set<MediaType> getSupportedTypes(ParseContext context)
      Description copied from interface: Parser
      Returns the set of media types supported by this parser when used with the given parse context.
      Specified by:
      getSupportedTypes in interface Parser
      Parameters:
      context - parse context
      Returns:
      immutable set of media types

    • parse

      public void parse(InputStream stream, ContentHandler handler, Metadata metadata, ParseContext context) throws IOException, SAXException, TikaException
      Description copied from interface: Parser
      Parses a document stream into a sequence of XHTML SAX events. Fills in related document metadata in the given metadata object.

      The given document stream is consumed but not closed by this method. The responsibility to close the stream remains on the caller.

      Information about the parsing context can be passed in the context parameter. See the parser implementations for the kinds of context information they expect.

      Specified by:
      parse in interface Parser
      Parameters:
      stream - the document stream (input)
      handler - handler for the XHTML SAX events (output)
      metadata - document metadata (input and output)
      context - parse context
      Throws:
      IOException - if the document stream could not be read
      SAXException - if the SAX events could not be processed
      TikaException - if the document could not be parsed

    • setSupportedTypes

      @Field public void setSupportedTypes(List<String> supportedTypes)
      This is set during initialization from a tika-config. Any calls after initialization will result in a IllegalStateException.
      Parameters:
      supportedTypes -

    • setTimeoutMs

      @Field public void setTimeoutMs(long timeoutMs)

    • setMaxStdErr

      @Field public void setMaxStdErr(int maxStdErr)

    • setMaxStdOut

      @Field public void setMaxStdOut(int maxStdOut)

    • setCommandLine

      @Field public void setCommandLine(List<String> commandLine)
      Use this to specify the full commandLine. The commandline must include at least INPUT_FILE_TOKEN. If the external process writes to an output file, specify OUTPUT_FILE_TOKEN.
      Parameters:
      commandLine -

    • setReturnStdout

      @Field public void setReturnStdout(boolean returnStdout)
      If set to true, this will return the stdout in the metadata via ExternalProcess.STD_OUT. Default is false because this should normally be handled by the outputParser
      Parameters:
      returnStdout -

    • setReturnStderr

      @Field public void setReturnStderr(boolean returnStderr)
      If set to true, this will return the stderr in the metadata via ExternalProcess.STD_ERR. Default is true
      Parameters:
      returnStderr -

    • setOutputParser

      @Field public void setOutputParser(Parser parser)
      This parser is called on the output of the process. If the process writes to an output file, specified by OUTPUT_FILE_TOKEN, this parser will parse that file, otherwise it will parse the UTF-8 encoded bytes from the process' STD_OUT.
      Parameters:
      parser -

    • getOutputParser

      public Parser getOutputParser()

    • initialize

      public void initialize(Map<String,Param> params) throws TikaConfigException
      Specified by:
      initialize in interface Initializable
      Parameters:
      params - params to use for initialization
      Throws:
      TikaConfigException

    • checkInitialization

      public void checkInitialization(InitializableProblemHandler problemHandler) throws TikaConfigException
      Specified by:
      checkInitialization in interface Initializable
      Parameters:
      problemHandler - if there is a problem and no custom initializableProblemHandler has been configured via Initializable parameters, this is called to respond.
      Throws:
      TikaConfigException
