Radio silence from the Tika mailing list. Can we get my latest patch rolled in?
JAX-RS server only responds to queries to/from http://localhost

Key: TIKA-1196
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1196
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: server
Affects Versions: 1.4
Environment: Mac OS X, Windows Server 2008
Reporter: Rian Stockbower
Priority: Minor
Labels: JAXRS, hostname, web-service
Attachments: tika-1196.patch, tika-1196b.patch, tika-1196c.patch
I'm not sure if this is a problem with the Tika JAX-RS server, or with how it
uses CXF under the hood. Anyway:
I have a large text extraction job (10-15 million documents) that I'm using
the web service for. It would be nice to be able to distribute this
horizontally across multiple nodes to speed up the processing. I had thought
to have a job queue with a couple consumers, farming out PUT requests across
several Tika web service endpoints.
But the JAX-RS web service will only respond to queries made to
{{http://localhost:9998/tika}}.
I can't call {{http://hostname:9998/tika}} -- even if it's still a local
operation.
Here is a list of things I've tried:
* I changed line 89 of TikaServerCLI.java to compute the name of the host at
runtime. No go: the server starts up, and immediately terminates.
* I changed line 89 of TikaServerCLI.java to be a hostname (not a FQDN), and
re-compiled:
** {{mvn compile -rf :tika-server}} compiles successfully. Start up the
server, and it terminates, just like when I tried to compute the hostname at
runtime
** {{mvn install}} from the topmost Tika directory gets the service
responding to both {{http://hostname:9998/tika}} and
{{http://hostname.domain.net:9998/tika}} (Seemed weird, this is why I was
thinking it was further up the chain in CXF?)
In a perfect world:
# The server should respond to any valid calls that make sense:
#* 127.0.0.1
#* localhost
#* hostname
#* host.domain.tld
#* ip_address
# A {{hostname}} invocation parameter could be used to limit what the service
responds to when it's started up. (A very optional, nice-to-have.)
