Interface FileResource

All Known Implementing Classes:

FSFileResource

public interface FileResource

This is a basic interface to handle a logical "file". This should enable code-agnostic handling of files from different sources: file system, database, etc.

Field Detail

FILE_EXTENSION

static final org.apache.tika.metadata.Property FILE_EXTENSION

Method Detail

getResourceId

String getResourceId()

This is only used in logging to identify which file may have caused problems. While it is probably best to use unique ids for the sake of debugging, it is not necessary that the ids be unique. This id is never used as a hashkey by the batch processors, for example.

Returns:

an id for a FileResource

getMetadata

org.apache.tika.metadata.Metadata getMetadata()

This gets the metadata available before the parsing of the file. This will typically be "external" metadata: file name, file size, file location, data stream, etc. That is, things that are known about the file from outside information, not file-internal metadata.

Returns:

Metadata

openInputStream

InputStream openInputStream()
                     throws IOException

Returns:

an InputStream for the FileResource

Throws:

IOException
