Viorica Visan created TIKA-2460:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Possibility to add custom-mimetypes.xml (and/or also
other configuration files) from location outside classpath
Key: TIKA-2460
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2460
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Viorica Visan
Priority: Minor
I would like to be able to pass to tika the custom-mimetypes.xml from outside
classpath, because it is more flexible.
Our application is based on eclipse/osgi and it's composed of multiple
plugins/bundles.
One of these plugins contains also the tika library (almost all settings are
default)
We usually provide some configuration, from outside to these plugins.
And we would like to do the same with tika, because we recently encountered:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2443 and had to provide a custom
type to workaround a mismatched detection.
There might be other potential mismatches and it would be good to give this
possibility to pass configuration to tika from outside our application. Only
that for the osgi setup, on classpath means inside the folder plugin.
and from our point of view, that is not a good place, because these plugins get
replaced at every release, so this patching would have to be maintained all the
time.
This is the reason why it would be good, if tika itself had this possibility.
Thank you.
