Major Description
For use in production services, Tika Server should really be deployed as a WAR file, under a reliable servlet container that knows how to run as a system service, for example Tomcat or JBoss.
This is especially important on Windows, where I wasted an entire day trying to make TikaServerCli run as some kind of a service.
Maven makes building a webapp pretty trivial. With the attached patch applied, "mvn war:war" should work. It seems to run fine in Tomcat, which makes Windows deployment much simpler. Just install Tomcat and drop the WAR file into tomcat's webapps directory and you're away.
