Hi Folks,
Jerome and I have been talking about an idea to address the current issue
raised by Stefan G. about having a mapping of mimeType->list of pluginIds
rather than mimeType->list of extensionIds in the parse-plugins.xml file.
We've come up with the following proposed update that would seemingly fix
this problem.
We propose to have the concept of "aliases" in the parse-plugins.xml file,
defined at the end of the file, something lie:
<parse-plugins>
....
<mimeType name="text/html">
<plugin id="parse-html"/>
</mimeType>
.....
<aliases>
<alias name="parse-html"
extension-point="org.apache.nutch.parse.html.HtmlParser"/>
....
<alias name="parse-html2" extension-point="my.other.html.Parser"/>
....
</aliases>
</parse-plugins>
What do you guys think? This approach would be flexible enough to allow the
mapping of extensionIds to mimeTypes, but without impacting the current
"pluginId" concept.
Comments welcome.
Cheers,
Chris
