Question

i am uploading file using upload from then after getting uploaded file i am using Apache tika top extract content,metadata from uploaded file and applying but some error is coming

have a look of my playframework controller code :

public static Result upload() {
        MultipartFormData body = request().body().asMultipartFormData();
        FilePart picture = body.getFile("doc");
        if (picture != null) {

            String fileName = picture.getFilename();
            int eof = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
            String ext = fileName.substring(eof + 1);
            
            file = picture.getFile();
            
            InputStream is;
            try {
                is = new FileInputStream(file);
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            Parser ps=new AutoDetectParser();
            
            BodyContentHandler bch=new BodyContentHandler();
            
            Metadata metadata=new Metadata();
            
            try {
                ps.parse(is, bch, metadata, new ParseContext());
            } catch (IOException | SAXException | TikaException e) {
                
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            
            String sw=bch.toString();

            
            return ok(sw+" entity extracted and saved" + ext);
      }else {
        flash("error", "Missing file");
        return redirect(routes.Application.index());
    }

but when i am running this web application i am using commands:

rahul@inext:~/playframwrk apps/EntWebPrj$ play

[warn] play - No application found at invoker init

i added tika jar file.

Give me some idea to fix this issue.

Answer 1

Adding a dependency to Playframework can be done in two ways :

1. Unmanaged dependencies : directly add the jar in a /lib folder at the root of your project and restart your play application.

2. Managed dependencies : Add the jar to your build.sbt file as in the following example :

   val appDependencies = Seq(
       jdbc, cache,
       "org.apache.tika" % "tika" % "0.3"
   )
   

Answer 2

I think you need to also add the tika-parsers-X.Y.jar file (where X.Y is the version e.g., 1.4).
