invalid archives with java.util.zip

[js]

Hi,

I have a problem with ZIP files in JDK 1.5.
I'm using the following code to create a ZIP file from an XML
document:

Document doc;
// create document and set root element
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream(filenameZIP));
out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(filenameXML));
// fill document and write it to output stream
out.close();

This runs without problems, never throws an exception and always
produces a ZIP file.
But sometimes and not reproducible the file cannot be unzipped. Then I
get the following error using unzip:

Archive: filename.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is
not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In
the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found
on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of filename.zip or
filename.zip.zip, and cannot find filename.zip.ZIP, period.

When I try to unzip it with jar, I get:

java.io.EOFException: Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream
at
java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.fill(InflaterInputStream.java:216)
at
java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read(InflaterInputStream.java:134)
at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.read(ZipInputStream.java:139)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.extractFile(Main.java:714)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.extract(Main.java:677)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:189)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:903)

Again: This only happens in very few cases.
Has anyone an idea what could be wrong?

Thanks
Jan Strube

It is difficult to tell much from code snippets,
but you might try..

Document doc;
// create document and set root element
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream(filenameZIP));
out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(filenameXML));
<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/zip/
ZipOutputStream.html#closeEntry()>

// fill document and write it to output stream
out.close();

..closely followed by some if the other methods
meant to finish up ZIPs, that are mentioned in
them there JavaDocs.

Hi,

we just found out what the problem was.
The file was copied before it was completely written. So it had
nothing to do with the zip functionality.

But thanks a lot
