[jira] Commented: (TIKA-298) CompositeParser.getParser() should use mimetype hierarchy when falling back

["Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-298?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12861786#action_12861786 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-298:
------------------------------------

I implemented a simple version of this in revision 938966.

The fallback mechanism still doesn't support the full type hierarchy information in tika-mimetypes.xml, but already knows about base types and the hardcoded specialization rules in MediaType.isSpecializationOf().

> CompositeParser.getParser() doesn't use supertypes when falling back - if it can't get a parser for the exact mimetype, then it goes

> So, for example, if the file mimetype is application/<whatever>+xml, and no parser exists for it, then you get the default "do nothing" parser versus the XML parser.
