Java zip support

Skip navigation links. Object java. Deflater public class Deflater extends Object This class provides support for general purpose compression using the popular ZLIB compression library. It is fully described in the specifications at the java.

Compression method for the deflate algorithm the only one currently supported. Compression strategy best used for data consisting mostly of small values with a somewhat random distribution. Compression flush mode used to flush out all pending output and reset the deflater. Compression flush mode used to flush out all pending output; may degrade compression for some compression algorithms. When called, indicates that compression should end with the current contents of the input buffer.

Returns true if the input data buffer is empty and setInput should be called in order to provide more input. Creates a new compressor using the specified compression level. Creates a new compressor with the default compression level. Sets input data for compression. Sets preset dictionary for compression. Sets the compression strategy to the specified value.

Sets the compression level to the specified value. For example it will completely fail if the stored entry is a ZIP archive itself.

Starting with Compress 1. ZipFile requires a SeekableByteChannel that will be obtained transparently when reading from a file. The class org. SeekableInMemoryByteChannel allows you to read from an in-memory archive. The constructor accepting a File and a size is used exclusively for creating a split ZIP archive and is described in th next section. For the remainder of this section this constructor is equivalent to the one using the OutputStream argument and thus it is not possible to add uncompressed entries of unknown size.

Of the remaining three constructors the File version will try to use SeekableByteChannel and fall back to using a FileOutputStream internally if that fails. If you know you are writing to a file, you should always prefer the File - or SeekableByteChannel -arg constructors. SeekableInMemoryByteChannel allows you to write to an in-memory archive. The ZIP format knows so called split and spanned archives.

Spanned archives cross several removable media and are not supported by Commons Compress. Split archives consist of multiple files that reside in the same directory with the same base name the file name without the file extension. The last file of the the archive has the extension zip the remaining files conventionally use extensions z01 , z02 and so on. Support for splitted archives has been added with Compress 1.

The size determines the maximum size of a split segment - the size must be between 64kB and 4GB. While creating the archive, this will create several files fillowing the naming convention described above. The name of the File argument used inside of the constructor must use the extension zip. It is currently not possible to write split archives with more than 64k segments.

When creating split archives with more than segments you will need to adjust the file names as ZipArchiveOutputStream assumes extensions will be three characters long.

Inside a ZIP archive, additional data can be attached to each entry. The java. Actually the extra data is supposed to be more structured than that and Compress' ZIP package provides access to the structured data as ZipExtraField instances. Only a subset of all defined extra field formats is supported by the package, any other extra field will be stored as UnrecognizedExtraField.

Prior to version 1. Starting with version 1. Using ZipArchiveEntry. ZipEntry to represent a zip file entry. Creating a zip archive for a single file is very easy, we need to create a ZipOutputStream object from the FileOutputStream object of destination file.

Once we are done writing, we need to close ZipEntry and release all the resources. Zipping a directory is little tricky, first we need to get the files list as absolute path. Then process each one of them separately. We need to add a ZipEntry for each file and use FileInputStream to read the content of the source file to the ZipEntry corresponding to that file. Notice that while logging files to zip in directory, I am printing absolute path.

But while adding zip entry, I am using relative path from the directory so that when we unzip it, it will create the same directory structure. I would like to know, how to zip individual files that all end in the extension of. Are there anything which can allow to compress a file in different modes like fast compression or full compression. Hiii… can you give me a source code of unzip a file with its hirarchy. Thanks in advance.
