Constructor Summary

ZipFile(File file)
Opens a ZIP file for reading given the specified File object.

ZipFile(File file, int mode)
Opens a new ZipFile to read from the specified File object in the specified mode.

ZipFile(String name)
Opens a zip file for reading.

Method Summary

void	close() Closes the ZIP file.
Enumeration	entries() Returns an enumeration of the ZIP file entries.
protected void	finalize() Ensures that the close method of this ZIP file is called when there are no more references to it.
ZipEntry	getEntry(String name) Returns the zip file entry for the specified name, or null if not found.
InputStream	getInputStream(ZipEntry entry) Returns an input stream for reading the contents of the specified zip file entry.

Field Detail

OPEN_READ

public static final int OPEN_READ

Mode flag to open a zip file for reading.

OPEN_DELETE

public static final int OPEN_DELETE

Mode flag to open a zip file and mark it for deletion. The file will be deleted some time between the moment that it is opened and the moment that it is closed, but its contents will remain accessible via the ZipFile object until either the close method is invoked or the virtual machine exits.

Constructor Detail

ZipFile

public ZipFile(String name)
        throws IOException

Opens a zip file for reading.

First, if there is a security manager, its checkRead method is called with the name argument as its argument to ensure the read is allowed.

Parameters:

name - the name of the zip file

Throws:

ZipException - if a ZIP format error has occurred

IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkRead method doesn't allow read access to the file.

See Also:

SecurityManager.checkRead(java.lang.String)

ZipFile

public ZipFile(File file,
               int mode)
        throws IOException

Opens a new ZipFile to read from the specified File object in the specified mode. The mode argument must be either OPEN_READ or OPEN_READ | OPEN_DELETE.

First, if there is a security manager, its checkRead method is called with the name argument as its argument to ensure the read is allowed.

Parameters:

file - the ZIP file to be opened for reading

mode - the mode in which the file is to be opened

Throws:

ZipException - if a ZIP format error has occurred

IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkRead method doesn't allow read access to the file.

IllegalArgumentException - If the mode argument is invalid

See Also:

SecurityManager.checkRead(java.lang.String)

ZipFile

public ZipFile(File file)
        throws ZipException,
               IOException

Opens a ZIP file for reading given the specified File object.

Parameters:

file - the ZIP file to be opened for reading

Throws:

ZipException - if a ZIP error has occurred

IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

Method Detail

getEntry

public ZipEntry getEntry(String name)

Returns the zip file entry for the specified name, or null if not found.

Parameters:

name - the name of the entry

Returns:

the zip file entry, or null if not found

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the zip file has been closed

getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream(ZipEntry entry)
                           throws IOException

Returns an input stream for reading the contents of the specified zip file entry.

Parameters:

entry - the zip file entry

Returns:

the input stream for reading the contents of the specified zip file entry.

Throws:

ZipException - if a ZIP format error has occurred

IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

IllegalStateException - if the zip file has been closed

getName

public String getName()

Returns the path name of the ZIP file.

Returns:

the path name of the ZIP file

entries

public Enumeration entries()

Returns an enumeration of the ZIP file entries.

Returns:

an enumeration of the ZIP file entries

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the zip file has been closed

size

public int size()

Returns the number of entries in the ZIP file.

Returns:

the number of entries in the ZIP file

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the zip file has been closed

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Closes the ZIP file.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error has occured

finalize

protected void finalize()
                 throws IOException

Ensures that the close method of this ZIP file is called when there are no more references to it.

Since the time when GC would invoke this method is undetermined, it is strongly recommanded that applications invoke the close method as soon they have finished accessing this ZipFile. This will prevent holding up system resources for an undetermined length of time.

Overrides:

finalize in class Object

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
