extract metadata, but not content

[Augusto Callejas <ac...@appliedminds.com>]

hi-

i'm using the AutoDetectParser to extract metadata and content from a file.

is there a way to turn off content extraction, but keep metadata extraction on?


===
    parser = new AutoDetectParser();
    final FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(file);
    final StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
    final ContentHandler handler = new BodyContentHandler(writer);

    final Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
    metadata.set(Metadata.RESOURCE_NAME_KEY, file.getName());

    final ParseContext context = new ParseContext();
    parser.parse(input, handler, metadata, context);
===

thanks,
augusto.

You could pass in a ContentHandler that just ignores all the xhtml events. 
However, there's no way to tell the parsers not to generate them in the 
first place, sorry.
