I have a dynamic text file that picks content from a database according to the user's query. I have to write this content into a text file and zip it in a folder in a servlet. How should I do this?
Look at this example:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("Test String");
File f = new File("d:\\test.zip");
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f));
ZipEntry e = new ZipEntry("mytext.txt");
out.putNextEntry(e);
byte[] data = sb.toString().getBytes();
out.write(data, 0, data.length);
out.closeEntry();
out.close();
This will create a zip in the root of D: named test.zip which will contain one single file called mytext.txt. Of course you can add more zip entries and also specify a subdirectory like this:
ZipEntry e = new ZipEntry("folderName/mytext.txt");
You can find more information about compression with Java here.
Java 7 has ZipFileSystem built in, that can be used to create, write and read file from zip file.
Java Doc: ZipFileSystem Provider
Map<String, String> env = new HashMap<>();
// Create the zip file if it doesn't exist
env.put("create", "true");
URI uri = URI.create("jar:file:/codeSamples/zipfs/zipfstest.zip");
try (FileSystem zipfs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(uri, env)) {
Path externalTxtFile = Paths.get("/codeSamples/zipfs/SomeTextFile.txt");
Path pathInZipfile = zipfs.getPath("/SomeTextFile.txt");
// Copy a file into the zip file
Files.copy(externalTxtFile, pathInZipfile, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
}
To write a ZIP file, you use a ZipOutputStream. For each entry that you want to place into the ZIP file, you create a ZipEntry object. You pass the file name to the ZipEntry constructor; it sets the other parameters such as file date and decompression method. You can override these settings if you like. Then, you call the putNextEntry method of the ZipOutputStream to begin writing a new file. Send the file data to the ZIP stream. When you are done, call closeEntry. Repeat for all the files you want to store. Here is a code skeleton:
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("test.zip");
ZipOutputStream zout = new ZipOutputStream(fout);
for all files
{
ZipEntry ze = new ZipEntry(filename);
zout.putNextEntry(ze);
send data to zout;
zout.closeEntry();
}
zout.close();
Here is an example code to compress a Whole Directory(including sub files and sub directories), it's using the walk file tree feature of Java NIO.
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.*;
import java.nio.file.attribute.BasicFileAttributes;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream;
public class ZipCompress {
public static void compress(String dirPath) {
final Path sourceDir = Paths.get(dirPath);
String zipFileName = dirPath.concat(".zip");
try {
final ZipOutputStream outputStream = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zipFileName));
Files.walkFileTree(sourceDir, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
#Override
public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attributes) {
try {
Path targetFile = sourceDir.relativize(file);
outputStream.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(targetFile.toString()));
byte[] bytes = Files.readAllBytes(file);
outputStream.write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
outputStream.closeEntry();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
}
});
outputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
To use this, just call
ZipCompress.compress("target/directoryToCompress");
and you'll get a zip file directoryToCompress.zip
Single file:
String filePath = "/absolute/path/file1.txt";
String zipPath = "/absolute/path/output.zip";
try (ZipOutputStream zipOut = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zipPath))) {
File fileToZip = new File(filePath);
zipOut.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(fileToZip.getName()));
Files.copy(fileToZip.toPath(), zipOut);
}
Multiple files:
List<String> filePaths = Arrays.asList("/absolute/path/file1.txt", "/absolute/path/file2.txt");
String zipPath = "/absolute/path/output.zip";
try (ZipOutputStream zipOut = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zipPath))) {
for (String filePath : filePaths) {
File fileToZip = new File(filePath);
zipOut.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(fileToZip.getName()));
Files.copy(fileToZip.toPath(), zipOut);
}
}
Spring boot controller, zip the files in a directory, and can be downloaded.
#RequestMapping(value = "/files.zip")
#ResponseBody
byte[] filesZip() throws IOException {
File dir = new File("./");
File[] filesArray = dir.listFiles();
if (filesArray == null || filesArray.length == 0)
System.out.println(dir.getAbsolutePath() + " have no file!");
ByteArrayOutputStream bo = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ZipOutputStream zipOut= new ZipOutputStream(bo);
for(File xlsFile:filesArray){
if(!xlsFile.isFile())continue;
ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(xlsFile.getName());
zipOut.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
zipOut.write(IOUtils.toByteArray(new FileInputStream(xlsFile)));
zipOut.closeEntry();
}
zipOut.close();
return bo.toByteArray();
}
This is how you create a zip file from a source file:
String srcFilename = "C:/myfile.txt";
String zipFile = "C:/myfile.zip";
try {
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipFile);
ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
File srcFile = new File(srcFilename);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(srcFile);
zos.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(srcFile.getName()));
int length;
while ((length = fis.read(buffer)) > 0) {
zos.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
zos.closeEntry();
fis.close();
zos.close();
}
catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("Error creating zip file" + ioe);
}
public static void main(String args[])

final int BUFFER = 2048;
boolean isEntry = false;
ArrayList<String> directoryList = new ArrayList<String>();
File f = new File(path);
if(f.exists())
{
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(fos));

Given exportPath and queryResults as String variables, the following block creates a results.zip file under exportPath and writes the content of queryResults to a results.txt file inside the zip.
URI uri = URI.create("jar:file:" + exportPath + "/results.zip");
Map<String, String> env = Collections.singletonMap("create", "true");
try (FileSystem zipfs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(uri, env)) {
Path filePath = zipfs.getPath("/results.txt");
byte[] fileContent = queryResults.getBytes();
Files.write(filePath, fileContent, StandardOpenOption.CREATE);
}
You have mainly to create two functions. First is writeToZipFile() and second is createZipfileForOutPut .... and then call the createZipfileForOutPut('file name of .zip')` …
public static void writeToZipFile(String path, ZipOutputStream zipStream)
throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
System.out.println("Writing file : '" + path + "' to zip file");
File aFile = new File(path);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(aFile);
ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(path);
zipStream.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = fis.read(bytes)) >= 0) {
zipStream.write(bytes, 0, length);
}
zipStream.closeEntry();
fis.close();
}
public static void createZipfileForOutPut(String filename) {
String home = System.getProperty("user.home");
// File directory = new File(home + "/Documents/" + "AutomationReport");
File directory = new File("AutomationReport");
if (!directory.exists()) {
directory.mkdir();
}
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("Path to your destination" + filename + ".zip");
ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
writeToZipFile("Path to file which you want to compress / zip", zos);
zos.close();
fos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
There is another option by using zip4j at https://github.com/srikanth-lingala/zip4j
Creating a zip file with single file in it / Adding single file to an existing zip
new ZipFile("filename.zip").addFile("filename.ext");
Or
new ZipFile("filename.zip").addFile(new File("filename.ext"));
Creating a zip file with multiple files / Adding multiple files to an existing zip
new ZipFile("filename.zip").addFiles(Arrays.asList(new File("first_file"), new File("second_file")));
Creating a zip file by adding a folder to it / Adding a folder to an existing zip
new ZipFile("filename.zip").addFolder(new File("/user/myuser/folder_to_add"));
Creating a zip file from stream / Adding a stream to an existing zip
new ZipFile("filename.zip").addStream(inputStream, new ZipParameters());
I know this question is answered but if you have a list of strings and you want to create a separate file for each string in the archive, you can use the snippet below.
public void zipFileTest() throws IOException {
Map<String, String> map = Map.ofEntries(
new AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<String, String>("File1.txt", "File1 Content"),
new AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<String, String>("File2.txt", "File2 Content"),
new AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<String, String>("File3.txt", "File3 Content")
);
createZipFileFromStringContents(map, "archive.zip");
}
public void createZipFileFromStringContents(Map<String, String> map, String zipfilePath) throws IOException {
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(zipfilePath);
ZipOutputStream zout = new ZipOutputStream(fout);
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
String fileName = entry.getKey();
ZipEntry zipFile = new ZipEntry(fileName);
zout.putNextEntry(zipFile);
String fileContent = entry.getValue();
zout.write(fileContent.getBytes(), 0, fileContent.getBytes().length);
zout.closeEntry();
}
zout.close();
}
It will create a zip file with the structure as in the below image:
Here is my working solution:
public static byte[] createZipFile(Map<String, FileData> files) throws IOException {
try(ByteArrayOutputStream tZipFile = new ByteArrayOutputStream()) {
try (ZipOutputStream tZipFileOut = new ZipOutputStream(tZipFile)) {
for (Map.Entry<String, FileData> file : files.entrySet()) {
ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(file.getValue().getFileName());
tZipFileOut.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
tZipFileOut.write(file.getValue().getBytes());
}
}
return tZipFile.toByteArray();
}
}
public class FileData {
private String fileName;
private byte[] bytes;
public String getFileName() {
return this.fileName;
}
public byte[] getBytes() {
return this.bytes;
}
}
This will create byte[] of ZIP file which contains one or more compressed files. I've used this method inside controller method and write bytes[] of ZIP file into response to download ZIP file(s) from server.
Since it took me a while to figure it out, I thought it would be helpful to post my solution using Java 7+ ZipFileSystem
openZip(runFile);
addToZip(filepath); //loop construct;
zipfs.close();
private void openZip(File runFile) throws IOException {
Map<String, String> env = new HashMap<>();
env.put("create", "true");
env.put("encoding", "UTF-8");
Files.deleteIfExists(runFile.toPath());
zipfs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(URI.create("jar:" + runFile.toURI().toString()), env);
}
private void addToZip(String filename) throws IOException {
Path externalTxtFile = Paths.get(filename).toAbsolutePath();
Path pathInZipfile = zipfs.getPath(filename.substring(filename.lastIndexOf("results"))); //all files to be stored have a common base folder, results/ in my case
if (Files.isDirectory(externalTxtFile)) {
Files.createDirectories(pathInZipfile);
try (DirectoryStream<Path> ds = Files.newDirectoryStream(externalTxtFile)) {
for (Path child : ds) {
addToZip(child.normalize().toString()); //recursive call
}
}
} else {
// copy file to zip file
Files.copy(externalTxtFile, pathInZipfile, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
}
}
public static void zipFromTxt(String zipFilePath, String txtFilePath) {
Assert.notNull(zipFilePath, "Zip file path is required");
Assert.notNull(txtFilePath, "Txt file path is required");
zipFromTxt(new File(zipFilePath), new File(txtFilePath));
}
public static void zipFromTxt(File zipFile, File txtFile) {
ZipOutputStream out = null;
FileInputStream in = null;
try {
Assert.notNull(zipFile, "Zip file is required");
Assert.notNull(txtFile, "Txt file is required");
out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zipFile));
in = new FileInputStream(txtFile);
out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(txtFile.getName()));
int len;
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
while ((len = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
out.write(buffer, 0, len);
out.flush();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
log.info("Zip from txt occur error,Detail message:{}", e.toString());
} finally {
try {
if (in != null) in.close();
if (out != null) {
out.closeEntry();
out.close();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
log.info("Zip from txt close error,Detail message:{}", e.toString());
}
}
}
Using Jeka https://jeka.dev JkPathTree, it's quite straightforward.
Path wholeDirToZip = Paths.get("dir/to/zip");
Path zipFile = Paths.get("file.zip");
JkPathTree.of(wholeDirToZip).zipTo(zipFile);
If you want decompress without software better use this code. Other code with pdf files sends error on manually decompress
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("123.zip");
ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
ZipEntry ze= new ZipEntry("file.pdf");
zos.putNextEntry(ze);
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("file.pdf");
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
zos.write(buffer, 0, len);
}
in.close();
zos.closeEntry();
zos.close();
} catch(IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
I'd like to create a zip which stores two different files with the same name, but I'm unable (using java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream) due to
java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry:
exception. I know that it's possible, but I need an advise which library I can use for that purposes. Thanks!
UPD the code I'm using:
File zipFile = new File("C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\old.zip");
File outFile = new File("C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\new.zip");
if(!outFile.exists()) {
outFile.getParentFile().mkdirs();
outFile.createNewFile();
}
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
ZipInputStream zin = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(zipFile));
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outFile));
ZipEntry entry = zin.getNextEntry();
while (entry != null) {
String name = entry.getName();
out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(name));
int len;
while ((len = zin.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
entry = zin.getNextEntry();
if("file".equals(name)) {
File fakeFile = new File("C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\file");
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(fakeFile);
out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry("file"));
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
out.closeEntry();
in.close();
}
}
zin.close();
out.close();
I was able to bypass restriction thru reflection api:
Field namesField = ZipOutputStream.class.getDeclaredField("names");
namesField.setAccessible(true);
HashSet<String> names = (HashSet<String>) namesField.get(out);
And clearing names after each putNextEntry call
try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipFile);
ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos)) {
HashSet<String> names = new HashSet<String>();
for (String filePath : fileList) {
if(names.add(filePath))
{
String name = filePath.substring(directory.getAbsolutePath()
.length() + 1, filePath.length());
ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(name);
zos.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filePath)) {
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = fis.read(buffer)) >= 0) {
zos.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new Exception();
}
zos.closeEntry();
}
}
names.clear();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new Exception();
}
By using HashSet solved my issue of zip duplicate entry
This is my solution: adding postfixes for duplicate names:
String SPLIT_FILENAME_EXTENSION_REGEX = "\\.(?=[^\\.]+$)";
Map<String, Integer> namesPostfixes = new HashMap<>();
private void addZipPart(String fullName, InputStream attachmentStream, ZipOutputStream zos,
Map<String, Integer> namesPostfixes)
throws IOException, MessagingException {
String generatedName;
if (namesPostfixes.containsKey(fullName)) {
String namePart;
String extensionPart;
if (fullName.contains(".")) {
String[] splittedName = fullName.split(SPLIT_FILENAME_EXTENSION_REGEX);
namePart = splittedName[0];
extensionPart = "." + splittedName[1];
} else {
namePart = fullName;
extensionPart = "";
}
Integer counter = namesPostfixes.get(fullName);
generatedName = namePart + "_" + ++counter + extensionPart;
namesPostfixes.put(fullName, counter);
} else {
generatedName = fullName;
namesPostfixes.put(fullName, 0);
}
zos.putNextEntry(
new ZipEntry(generatedName));
IOUtils.copy(attachmentStream, zos);
zos.closeEntry();
}
I am currently trying to upload multiple files, and the files are being upload properly into the destination directory. But in the logs it is giving me this error:

As I am new to java, I'm not sure why it is giving me this error. How do I debug this?
I have this Java method to upload a file. I am trying to cater for users trying to upload a folder by compressing that folder into a zip file and upload it instead. For some reason in my case file.isDirectory() and file.isFile() are not working correctly.. even though the filename does not contain any extension, file.isFile() is returning true and isDirectory() returns false. Also directory.list() is also acting weird by returning null.
What can be the problem? Am I doing something wrong?

fullPath.append("t");
fullPath.append(Integer.toString(ticket_id));
fullPath.append(File.separator);
fullPath.append(filename);
System.out.println("filename " + filename);
file = new File(fullPath.toString());
if (!file.exists())

out.write(bytes, 0, read);
}
}

appZip.zipIt(filename + ".zip");
}

This is the ZipFile class I am using

ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
for (String file : this.fileList)
{
ZipEntry ze = new ZipEntry(source + File.separator + file);
zos.putNextEntry(ze);

public void generateFileList(File node)

if(node.isFile())
{
fileList.add(generateZipEntry(node.toString()));
}
if(node.isDirectory())

if (subNode != null) {
for(String filename : subNode)

generateFileList(new File (node, filename));
}
}
}
}
private String generateZipEntry(String path)
{
return path.substring(source_folder.length() + 1, path.length());
}
}
file.list() is being done in the generateFileList method in ZipFile class. I know this is returning null since I tried detecting whether the file is a folder or a file by using filename.indexOf(".") instead of isDirectory() and isFile() since they were not working. But I wish I had an explanation for this.
Thanks for your help!
if (!file.exists()) {
// if directory does not exist, create it
file.mkdirs();
}
will create directory and test file.isDirectory() will return true
It could be a problem with the path?
C://MyDocuments//zerafbe//Documents//apache-tomcat-7.0.29//webapps//attachments//t50\test
You are mixing backslash with slash...
I tested your code block
ZipFile appZip = new ZipFile(file.toString());
appZip.generateFileList(file);
appZip.zipIt(filename + ".zip");
with a local folder and it's working perfectly. I think you are passing a invalid path. This may be the cause isFile or isDirectory methods are acting strangely. Try to add a validation statement at the starting of generateFileList method using File API:
if(!node.exists) {
// return some flag to signify error OR throw a suitable Exception
}
This should work.
public String compressData(String srcDir) {
String zipFile = srcDir+".zip";
try {
// create byte buffer
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipFile);
ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
File dir = new File(srcDir);
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
System.out.println("Adding file: " + files[i].getName());
