About
FITS
The File Information Tool Set (FITS) identifies, validates and extracts technical metadata for a wide range of file formats. It acts as a wrapper, invoking and managing the output from several other open source tools. Output from these tools are converted into a common format, compared to one another and consolidated into a single XML output file.
Note: FITS is written in Java and is compatible with Java 1.8 or higher.
FITS Web Service
The FITS Web Service is a project that allows FITS to be deployed as a service on either Tomcat or JBoss. The code has been built and test using Java 7 and Java 8 and tested on Tomcat 7, Tomcat 8, and minimally on JBoss 7.1. The path to the service will be the WAR file name plus the service name. (E.g. - For release 1.1.1 which provides the release artifact fits-1.1.1.war, use http://localhost:8080/fits-1.1.1/examine/ as the base URL). This can be adjusted by either changing the WAR filename or using server-specific settings.
Note: The latest and future versions of this project are built and tested using Java 8.
