External custom-mimetypes.xml

[Luís Filipe Nassif <lf...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I would like to load a custom-mimetypes.xml file from a directory, not from
the jar files. Is it possible?

Thank you,
Luis Nassif

It needs to be something unique like that, so we don't get accidental 
false positives.

For production use, I would suggest you pop your custom-mimetypes.xml file 
into a jar, and add that jar to your classpath. That should be much safer 
and easier for users. You'd normally only use raw directory paths in 
development

Thank you guys.

But with TikaConfig I think I need to redefine all default mimetypes?

And Nick, any alternative to this package like path? I have used it before
but I think it is a bit unfriendly to be edited by the final user.

Thank you again,
Luis

Yup, I do it quite often when testing

Just make sure that you have a directory structure like:
     somewhere/org/apache/tika/mime/custom-mimetypes.xml

Then ensure that that "somewhere" is on your classpath, eg

find test-mimetypes -type f
test-mimetypes/org/apache/tika/mime/custom-mimetypes.xml

java -classpath tika-app-1.8-SNAPSHOT.jar:test-mimetypes org.apache.tika.cli.TikaCLI --detect foo.bin

That'll run the tika app, along with your additional custom mimetype 
definition from the "test-mimetypes" directory

Yes it is possible and it is absolutely OK. I do it all the time.

Please try out loading the constructor as all other accessory are GET's.
