Allow parser lookup from a custom class loader
----------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-419
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-419
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: config
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Assignee: Jukka Zitting
Fix For: 0.8
Since TIKA-317 we've used the
javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry.lookupProviders(Class<?>) method to look up
all the currently available Parser implementations. This method uses the
context class loader of the current thread for looking up Parser classes.
As seen in NUTCH-810 and discussed on tika-users@, this is troublesome for
applications with more complex class loading mechanisms. To solve the issue, it
would be good to allow the client to optionally specify an explicit class
loader instance from which parsers are to be looked up.
