    public class ExtractorFactory

extends java.lang.Object

Figures out the correct POITextExtractor for your supplied document, and returns it.

Field Summary
`static java.lang.String` `CORE_DOCUMENT_REL`

Constructor Summary
`ExtractorFactory()`

Method Summary
`static POITextExtractor` `createExtractor(DirectoryNode poifsDir)`
`static POITextExtractor` `createExtractor(DirectoryNode poifsDir, POIFSFileSystem fs)` Deprecated. Use `createExtractor(DirectoryNode)` instead
`static POITextExtractor` `createExtractor(java.io.File f)`
`static POITextExtractor` `createExtractor(java.io.InputStream inp)`
`static POIXMLTextExtractor` `createExtractor(OPCPackage pkg)`
`static POIOLE2TextExtractor` `createExtractor(POIFSFileSystem fs)`
`static java.lang.Boolean` `getAllThreadsPreferEventExtractors()` Should all threads prefer event based over usermodel based extractors? (usermodel extractors tend to be more accurate, but use more memory) Default is to use the thread level setting, which defaults to false.
`static POITextExtractor[]` `getEmbededDocsTextExtractors(POIOLE2TextExtractor ext)` Returns an array of text extractors, one for each of the embeded documents in the file (if there are any).
`static POITextExtractor[]` `getEmbededDocsTextExtractors(POIXMLTextExtractor ext)` Returns an array of text extractors, one for each of the embeded documents in the file (if there are any).
`protected static boolean` `getPreferEventExtractor()` Should this thread use event based extractors is available? Checks the all-threads one first, then thread specific.
`static boolean` `getThreadPrefersEventExtractors()` Should this thread prefer event based over usermodel based extractors? (usermodel extractors tend to be more accurate, but use more memory) Default is false.
`static void` `setAllThreadsPreferEventExtractors(java.lang.Boolean preferEventExtractors)` Should all threads prefer event based over usermodel based extractors? If set, will take preference over the Thread level setting.
`static void` `setThreadPrefersEventExtractors(boolean preferEventExtractors)` Should this thread prefer event based over usermodel based extractors? Will only be used if the All Threads setting is null.
