All,

  I recently took a look at the source code for TikaEntityProcessor, and I 
noticed that the code is not configuring the ParseContext to have Tika's 
AutoDetectParser (or any parser) parse documents recursively.  That is, if you 
have a zip file or any other container document, DIH's TikaEntityProcessor is 
not configured to handle/parse/extract contents from the embedded documents.

  Is this the intended behavior?  Is this what users expect?

  The change is trivial, and it probably should be configurable whether or not 
to have DIH parse recursively.  

  Many apologies if this is a known issue or a non-issue.

   If this is actually an issue, I'll be happy to open an issue and supply a 
patch.


         Best,

                 Tim


To see what I mean, grab test_recursive_embedded.docx from here 
(http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tika/trunk/tika-server/src/test/resources/test_recursive_embedded.docx?view=log
 )

Add this pseudo test code to TestTikaEntityProcessor:

  @Test
  public void testTikaEmbeddedDocs() throws Exception {
    runFullImport(getConfigEmbedded());
    String json = JQ(req("*:*"));
    System.out.println(json);
  }

  private String getConfigEmbedded() {
    return
        "<dataConfig>" +
            "  <dataSource type=\"BinFileDataSource\"/>" +
            "  <document>" +
            "    <entity name=\"Tika\" processor=\"TikaEntityProcessor\" 
url=\"" +
            getFile("dihextras/test_recursive_embedded.docx").getAbsolutePath() 
+ "\" >" +
            "      <field column=\"Author\" meta=\"true\" name=\"author\"/>" +
            "      <field column=\"title\" meta=\"true\" name=\"title\"/>" +
            "      <field column=\"text\"/>" +
            "     </entity>" +
            "  </document>" +
            "</dataConfig>";
  }

The output is this:

"response":{"numFound":1,"start":0,"docs":[
      {
        "text":"\n\n\nembed_0  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n"}]
  }


If you add this line to TikaEntityParser:

        context.set(Parser.class, tikaParser);

You get this:
      {
        "text":"\n\n\nembed_0  
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nembed1/embed1a.txt\nembed_1a\n\n\n\nembed1/embed1b.txt\nembed_1b\n\n\n\nembed1/embed2.zip\n\n\nembed2/embed2a.txt\n\nembed_2a\n\n\n\n\n\n\nembed2/embed2b.txt\n\nembed_2b\n\n\n\n\n\n\nembed2/embed3.zip\n\n\n\n\nembed3/embed3.txt\n\n\nembed_3\r\n\r\nWhen
 in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve 
the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among 
the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of 
Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of 
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the 
separation.\r\n \r\nWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are 
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable 
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That 
to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their 
just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of 
Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to 
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation 
on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall 
seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will 
dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and 
transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are 
more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by 
abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of 
abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to 
reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to 
throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. 
- Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the 
necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. 
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated 
injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an 
absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a 
candid world.\r\n \r\nHe has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and 
necessary for the public good.\r\n \r\nHe has forbidden his Governors to pass 
Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation 
till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly 
neglected to attend to them.\r\n \r\nHe has refused to pass other Laws for the 
accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would 
relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable 
to them and formidable to tyrants only.\r\n \r\nHe has called together 
legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the 
depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into 
e with his measures.\r\n \r\nHe has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, 
for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.\r\n 
\r\nHe has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to 
be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have 
returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the 
mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions 
within.\r\n \r\nHe has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; 
for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; 
refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the 
conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.\r\n \r\nHe has obstructed the 
Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing 
Judiciary Powers.\r\n \r\nHe has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for 
the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.\r\n 
\r\nHe has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of 
Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.\r\n \r\nHe has kept 
among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our 
legislatures.\r\n \r\nHe has affected to render the Military independent of and 
superior to the Civil Power.\r\n \r\nHe has combined with others to subject us 
to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; 
giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:\r\n \r\nFor 
quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:\r\n \r\nFor protecting them, 
by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the 
Inhabitants of these States:\r\n \r\nFor cutting off our Trade with all parts 
of the world:\r\n \r\nFor imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:\r\n \r\nFor 
depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:\r\n \r\nFor 
transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:\r\n \r\nFor 
abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, 
establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so 
as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same 
absolute rule into these Colonies\r\n \r\nFor taking away our Charters, 
abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our 
Governments:\r\n \r\nFor suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring 
themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.\r\n 
\r\nHe has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and 
waging War against us.\r\n \r\nHe has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, 
burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.\r\n \r\nHe is at this 
time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of 
death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & 
Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy 
the Head of a civilized nation.\r\n \r\nHe has constrained our fellow Citizens 
taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become 
the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their 
Hands.\r\n \r\nHe has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has 
endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian 
Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all 
ages, sexes and conditions.\r\n \r\nIn every stage of these Oppressions We have 
Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have 
been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked 
by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free 
people.\r\n \r\nNor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. 
We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to 
extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the 
circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their 
native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our 
common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt 
our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of 
justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, 
which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, 
Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.\r\n \r\nWe, therefore, the Representatives of 
the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the 
Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the 
Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish 
and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and 
Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British 
Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great 
Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent 
States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, 
establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent 
States may of right do. - And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm 
reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each 
other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred 
Honor.\r\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nembed3/embed4.zip\n\n\n\n\n\n\nembed4.txt\n\n\n\nembed_4\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"}]
