setExtractAllAlternatives

public void setExtractAllAlternatives(boolean extractAllAlternatives)

Until version 1.17, Tika handled all body parts as embedded objects (see TIKA-2478). In 1.17, we modified the parser to select only the best alternative body parts for multipart/alternative sections, and we inline the content as we do for .msg files.

The legacy behavior can be set by setting extractAllAlternatives to true. As of 1.17, the default value is false

Parameters:

extractAllAlternatives - whether or not to extract all alternative parts

Since:

1.17
