Class ZipOutputStream

  • java.lang.Object
    • java.io.OutputStream
      • java.io.FilterOutputStream
        • org.apache.tools.zip.ZipOutputStream
  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable, java.lang.AutoCloseable

    public class ZipOutputStream
extends java.io.FilterOutputStream
    Reimplementation of java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream that does handle the extended functionality of this package, especially internal/external file attributes and extra fields with different layouts for local file data and central directory entries.

    This class will try to use RandomAccessFile when you know that the output is going to go to a file.

    If RandomAccessFile cannot be used, this implementation will use a Data Descriptor to store size and CRC information for DEFLATED entries, this means, you don't need to calculate them yourself. Unfortunately this is not possible for the STORED method, here setting the CRC and uncompressed size information is required before putNextEntry can be called.

    As of Apache Ant 1.9.0 it transparently supports Zip64 extensions and thus individual entries and archives larger than 4 GB or with more than 65536 entries in most cases but explicit control is provided via setUseZip64(org.apache.tools.zip.Zip64Mode). If the stream can not user RandomAccessFile and you try to write a ZipEntry of unknown size then Zip64 extensions will be disabled by default.

        For a list of possible values see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html. Defaults to the platform's default character encoding.

        Parameters:

        1.3

      • getEncoding

      • setUseLanguageEncodingFlag

        public void setUseLanguageEncodingFlag(boolean b)
        Whether to set the language encoding flag if the file name encoding is UTF-8.

        Defaults to true.

        Parameters:
        b - boolean

      • setCreateUnicodeExtraFields

        public void setCreateUnicodeExtraFields(ZipOutputStream.UnicodeExtraFieldPolicy b)
        Whether to create Unicode Extra Fields.

        Defaults to NEVER.

        Parameters:
        b - boolean

      • setFallbackToUTF8

        public void setFallbackToUTF8(boolean b)
        Whether to fall back to UTF and the language encoding flag if the file name cannot be encoded using the specified encoding.

        Defaults to false.

        Parameters:
        b - boolean

      • setUseZip64

        public void setUseZip64(Zip64Mode mode)
        Whether Zip64 extensions will be used.

        When setting the mode to Never, putNextEntry(org.apache.tools.zip.ZipEntry), closeEntry(), finish() or close() may throw a Zip64RequiredException if the entry's size or the total size of the archive exceeds 4GB or there are more than 65536 entries inside the archive. Any archive created in this mode will be readable by implementations that don't support Zip64.

        When setting the mode to Always, Zip64 extensions will be used for all entries. Any archive created in this mode may be unreadable by implementations that don't support Zip64 even if all its contents would be.

        When setting the mode to AsNeeded, Zip64 extensions will transparently be used for those entries that require them. This mode can only be used if the uncompressed size of the ZipEntry is known when calling putNextEntry(org.apache.tools.zip.ZipEntry) or the archive is written to a seekable output (i.e. you have used the File-arg constructor) - this mode is not valid when the output stream is not seekable and the uncompressed size is unknown when putNextEntry(org.apache.tools.zip.ZipEntry) is called.

        If no entry inside the resulting archive requires Zip64 extensions then Never will create the smallest archive. AsNeeded will create a slightly bigger archive if the uncompressed size of any entry has initially been unknown and create an archive identical to Never otherwise. Always will create an archive that is at least 24 bytes per entry bigger than the one Never would create.

        Defaults to AsNeeded unless putNextEntry(org.apache.tools.zip.ZipEntry) is called with an entry of unknown size and data is written to a non-seekable stream - in this case the default is Never.

        Parameters:
        mode - Zip64Mode
        Since:
        1.3
