> I am trying to use Tika in GAE and write a simple servlet to extract meta data info from jpeg:
> {code}
> String urlStr = req.getParameter("imageUrl");
> byte[] oldImageData = IOUtils.toByteArray(new URL(urlStr));
> ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(oldImageData);
> Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
> BodyContentHandler ch = new BodyContentHandler();
> AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
> parser.parse(bais, ch, metadata, new ParseContext());
> bais.close();
> {code}
> This fails with exception:
> {code}
> Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to create temporary file
> 	at java.io.File.createTempFile(File.java:1986)
> 	at org.apache.tika.io.TemporaryResources.createTemporaryFile(TemporaryResources.java:66)
> 	at org.apache.tika.io.TikaInputStream.getFile(TikaInputStream.java:533)
> 	at org.apache.tika.parser.jpeg.JpegParser.parse(JpegParser.java:56)
> 	at org.apache.tika.parser.CompositeParser.parse(CompositeParser.java:242
> {code}
> Checked the code, in org.apache.tika.parser.jpeg.JpegParser.parse(InputStream, ContentHandler, Metadata, ParseContext), it creates a temp file from the input stream.
> I can understand why tika create temp file from the stream: so tika can parse it multiple times.
> But as GAE and other cloud servers are getting more popular, is it possible to avoid create temp file: instead we can copy the origin stream to a byteArray stream, so tika can also parse it multiple times.
> -- This will have a limit on the file size, as tika keeps the whole file in memory, but this can make tika work in GAE and maybe other cloud server.
> We can add a parameter in parser.parse to indicate whether do in memory parse only.
