Rest language detect

A very small rest Java web server that easily allows you to detect the language of any given text.

curl --data "The secret of life is not to do what you like, but to like what you do" http://localhost:8811/

(gives you en)

curl --data "A curiosidade matou o gato" http://localhost:8811/

(gives you pt)

curl --data "Cattivo bastone non fa buon cane" http://localhost:8811/

(gives you it)

Usage

Launch the web server with:

java -jar target/RestLanguageDetect-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar resources/profiles [port] [host]

Port and host are optional and will default to 8811 and localhost if skipped.

resources/profiles is the path where the profiles files are located. It's a mandatory argument so be sure to provide the correct path.

Build

If you want to make changes in the code base and build it again you need to use maven:

mvn clean compile assembly:single

This command will build you a self contained jar file for the server.

Stability and contributions

This is just an experimental projects that is not ready to be run in production (yet!). If you find it useful feel free to improve it and send pull requests. It would be really cool!
