Class ZipOutputStream

Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, Flushable, java.util.zip.ZipConstants
Known Direct Subclasses:
JarOutputStream

public class ZipOutputStream
extends DeflaterOutputStream
implements java.util.zip.ZipConstants

This is a FilterOutputStream that writes the files into a zip archive one after another. It has a special method to start a new zip entry. The zip entries contains information about the file name size, compressed size, CRC, etc. It includes support for STORED and DEFLATED entries. This class is not thread safe.

Field Summary

static int
DEFLATED
Compression method.
static int
STORED
Compression method.

Field Details

DEFLATED

public static final int DEFLATED
Compression method. This method uses the Deflater.
Field Value:
8

STORED

public static final int STORED
Compression method. This method doesn't compress at all.
Field Value:
0

Constructor Details

ZipOutputStream

public ZipOutputStream(OutputStream out)
Creates a new Zip output stream, writing a zip archive.
Parameters:
out - the output stream to which the zip archive is written.

Method Details

closeEntry

public void closeEntry()
            throws IOException
Closes the current entry.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occured.

finish

public void finish()
            throws IOException
Finishes the stream. This will write the central directory at the end of the zip file and flush the stream.
Overrides:
finish in interface DeflaterOutputStream
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occured.

putNextEntry

public void putNextEntry(ZipEntry entry)
            throws IOException
Starts a new Zip entry. It automatically closes the previous entry if present. If the compression method is stored, the entry must have a valid size and crc, otherwise all elements (except name) are optional, but must be correct if present. If the time is not set in the entry, the current time is used.
Parameters:
entry - the entry.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occured.

setComment

public void setComment(String comment)
Set the zip file comment.
Parameters:
comment - the comment.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if encoding of comment is longer than 0xffff bytes.

setLevel

public void setLevel(int level)
Sets default compression level. The new level will be activated immediately.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if level is not supported.
See Also:
Deflater

setMethod

public void setMethod(int method)
Sets default compression method. If the Zip entry specifies another method its method takes precedence.
Parameters:
method - the method.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if method is not supported.
See Also:
STORED, DEFLATED

write

public void write(byte[] b,
                  int off,
                  int len)
            throws IOException
Writes the given buffer to the current entry.
Overrides:
write in interface DeflaterOutputStream
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occured.
