    • ZipOutputStream

      public ZipOutputStream(OutputStream out)
      Creates a new ZIP output stream.

      The UTF-8 charset is used to encode the entry names and comments.

      Parameters:
      out - the actual output stream
    • ZipOutputStream

      public ZipOutputStream(OutputStream out, Charset charset)
      Creates a new ZIP output stream.
      Parameters:
      out - the actual output stream
      charset - the charset to be used to encode the entry names and comments
      Since:
      1.7
  • Method Details

    • setComment

      public void setComment(String comment)
      Sets the ZIP file comment.
      Parameters:
      comment - the comment string
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the length of the specified ZIP file comment is greater than 0xFFFF bytes
    • setMethod

      public void setMethod(int method)
      Sets the default compression method for subsequent entries. This default will be used whenever the compression method is not specified for an individual ZIP file entry, and is initially set to DEFLATED.
      Parameters:
      method - the default compression method
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the specified compression method is invalid
    • setLevel

      public void setLevel(int level)
      Sets the compression level for subsequent entries which are DEFLATED. The default setting is DEFAULT_COMPRESSION.
      Parameters:
      level - the compression level (0-9)
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the compression level is invalid
    • putNextEntry

      public void putNextEntry(ZipEntry e) throws IOException
      Begins writing a new ZIP file entry and positions the stream to the start of the entry data. Closes the current entry if still active.

      The default compression method will be used if no compression method was specified for the entry. When writing a compressed (DEFLATED) entry, and the compressed size has not been explicitly set with the ZipEntry.setCompressedSize(long) method, then the compressed size will be set to the actual compressed size after deflation.

      The current time will be used if the entry has no set modification time.

      API Note:
      When writing a directory entry, the STORED compression method should be used and the size and CRC-32 values should be set to 0:
           ZipEntry e = new ZipEntry(entryName);
           if (e.isDirectory()) {
               e.setMethod(ZipEntry.STORED);
               e.setSize(0);
               e.setCrc(0);
           }
           stream.putNextEntry(e);
      
      This allows optimal performance when processing directory entries.
      Parameters:
      e - the ZIP entry to be written
      Throws:
      ZipException - if a ZIP format error has occurred
      IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
    • closeEntry

      public void closeEntry() throws IOException
      Closes the current ZIP entry and positions the stream for writing the next entry.
      Throws:
      ZipException - if a ZIP format error has occurred
      IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
    • write

      public void write(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
      Writes an array of bytes to the current ZIP entry data. This method will block until all the bytes are written.
      Overrides:
      write in class DeflaterOutputStream
      Parameters:
      b - the data to be written
      off - the start offset in the data
      len - the number of bytes that are written
      Throws:
      ZipException - if a ZIP file error has occurred
      IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
      See Also:
    • finish

      public void finish() throws IOException
      Finishes writing the contents of the ZIP output stream without closing the underlying stream. Use this method when applying multiple filters in succession to the same output stream.

      A ZipException will be thrown if the combined length, after encoding, of the entry name, the extra field data, the entry comment and CEN Header size, exceeds 65,535 bytes.

      Overrides:
      finish in class DeflaterOutputStream
      Throws:
      ZipException - if a ZIP file error has occurred
      IOException - if an I/O exception has occurred
    • close

      public void close() throws IOException
      Closes the underlying stream and the stream being filtered after the contents of the ZIP output stream are fully written.
