public class JarInputStream

extends ZipInputStream

The JarInputStream class is used to read the contents of a JAR file from any input stream. It extends the class java.util.zip.ZipInputStream with support for reading an optional Manifest entry. The Manifest can be used to store meta-information about the JAR file and its entries.

Since:

JDK1.2

Constructor Summary

JarInputStream(InputStream in)
Creates a new JarInputStream and reads the optional manifest.

JarInputStream(InputStream in, boolean verify)
Creates a new JarInputStream and reads the optional manifest.

Method Summary

protected ZipEntry	createZipEntry(String name) Creates a new JarEntry (ZipEntry) for the specified JAR file entry name.
Manifest	getManifest() Returns the Manifest for this JAR file, or null if none.
ZipEntry	getNextEntry() Reads the next ZIP file entry and positions stream at the beginning of the entry data.
JarEntry	getNextJarEntry() Reads the next JAR file entry and positions the stream at the beginning of the entry data.
int	read(byte[] b, int off, int len) Reads from the current JAR file entry into an array of bytes.

Constructor Detail

JarInputStream

public JarInputStream(InputStream in)
               throws IOException

Creates a new JarInputStream and reads the optional manifest. If a manifest is present, also attempts to verify the signatures if the JarInputStream is signed.

Parameters:

in - the actual input stream

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

JarInputStream

public JarInputStream(InputStream in,
                      boolean verify)
               throws IOException

Creates a new JarInputStream and reads the optional manifest. If a manifest is present and verify is true, also attempts to verify the signatures if the JarInputStream is signed.

Parameters:

in - the actual input stream

verify - whether or not to verify the JarInputStream if it is signed.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

Method Detail

getManifest

public Manifest getManifest()

Returns the Manifest for this JAR file, or null if none.

getNextEntry

public ZipEntry getNextEntry()
                      throws IOException

Reads the next ZIP file entry and positions stream at the beginning of the entry data.

Throws:

ZipException - if a ZIP file error has occurred

IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

Overrides:

getNextEntry in class ZipInputStream

getNextJarEntry

public JarEntry getNextJarEntry()
                         throws IOException

Reads the next JAR file entry and positions the stream at the beginning of the entry data.

Throws:

ZipException - if a ZIP file error has occurred

IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

read

public int read(byte[] b,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws IOException

Reads from the current JAR file entry into an array of bytes. Blocks until some input is available.

Parameters:

b - the buffer into which the data is read

off - the start offset of the data

len - the maximum number of bytes to read

Returns:

the actual number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of the entry is reached

Throws:

ZipException - if a ZIP file error has occurred

IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

Overrides:

read in class ZipInputStream

createZipEntry

protected ZipEntry createZipEntry(String name)

Creates a new JarEntry (ZipEntry) for the specified JAR file entry name.

Parameters:

name - the name of the JAR/ZIP file entry

Overrides:

createZipEntry in class ZipInputStream
