Hi,
In my ongoing attempts to use various Java libraries, without writing any Java myself, I have trying Apache Tika. (http://tika.apache.org/1.4/api/org/apache/tika/Tika.html). With the tika jar on the classpath I hoped the following would work:
import module namespace tika = "java:org.apache.tika.Tika"; declare namespace File="java:java.io.File"; let $file :=File:new("xx.pdf") return tika:parse($file)
It generates the error Signature 'org.apache.tika.Tika.parse' is ambiguous
Which maybe it is from some perspectives :-). I hoped some type information might be available in the $file variable to resolve this, but it appears not. I was wondering about the possibility of using Java type at the XQuery level e.g. let $file as java:java.io.File :=File:new("xx.pdf")
Is there any way to avoid writing the couple of line Java class shim for this and similar cases?
