[Aperture-devel] Problem with ExtractorExample, Need Info: Document Parsing

[Keith R. B. <kbe...@bb...>]

Hello.

I'm Keith Bennett, a member of the Tika team =20
(http://incubator.apache.org/projects/tika.html), and am interested in =20
learning more about Aperture.  Aperture's scope is much broader than =20
Tika's, including far more than document parsing.

I'd like to see how Aperture would do the same task as Tika, even =20
though that would be using just part of its functionality.

To do this, I looked at the sample class at =20
http://aperture.sourceforge.net/tutorial/extractors.html, but could =20
not get it to compile successfully.  Could the example be updated (for =20
example, to include the correct import statements) so that it is in a =20
compilable state?  (Or am I doing something wrong?) ?  I am getting =20
two errors:

* DATA cannot be found.
* new RepositoryModel(false); fails because there is apparently no =20
(boolean) constructor.

Or is there a better way to test Aperture's document parsing =20
functionality?  I want to be able to pass it a URL or InputStream and =20
get the parse results.

Thanks,
- Keith Bennett
