Compress directory in zipfile using Commons IO

Question

I am starting to program using Java and am currently writing an application that should be able to compress and decompress files .zip. I can use the following code to decompress a zip file in Java using the built-in Java zip functionality as well as the Apache Commons IO library:

public static void decompressZipfile(String file, String outputDir) throws IOException {
    if (!new File(outputDir).exists()) {
        new File(outputDir).mkdirs();
    }
    ZipFile zipFile = new ZipFile(file);
    Enumeration<? extends ZipEntry> entries = zipFile.entries();
    while (entries.hasMoreElements()) {
        ZipEntry entry = entries.nextElement();
        File entryDestination = new File(outputDir, entry.getName());
        if (entry.isDirectory()) {
            entryDestination.mkdirs();
        } else {
            InputStream in = zipFile.getInputStream(entry);
            OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(entryDestination);
            IOUtils.copy(in, out);
            IOUtils.closeQuietly(in);
            IOUtils.closeQuietly(out);
        }
    }
}

How can I create a zip file from a directory without using external libraries other than what I already use? (Java and Commons IO Standard Libraries)

Answer 1

The following method (s) seems to successfully compress the directory recursively:

public static void compressZipfile(String sourceDir, String outputFile) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException {
    ZipOutputStream zipFile = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outputFile));
    compressDirectoryToZipfile(sourceDir, sourceDir, zipFile);
    IOUtils.closeQuietly(zipFile);
}

private static void compressDirectoryToZipfile(String rootDir, String sourceDir, ZipOutputStream out) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException {
    for (File file : new File(sourceDir).listFiles()) {
        if (file.isDirectory()) {
            compressDirectoryToZipfile(rootDir, sourceDir + File.separator + file.getName(), out);
        } else {
            ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(sourceDir.replace(rootDir, "") + file.getName());
            out.putNextEntry(entry);

            FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(sourceDir + file.getName());
            IOUtils.copy(in, out);
            IOUtils.closeQuietly(in);
        }
    }
}

, IOUtils.copy() .

.

    public static void compressZipfile(String sourceDir, String outputFile) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException {
    ZipOutputStream zipFile = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outputFile));
    Path srcPath = Paths.get(sourceDir);
    compressDirectoryToZipfile(srcPath.getParent().toString(), srcPath.getFileName().toString(), zipFile);
    IOUtils.closeQuietly(zipFile);
}

private static void compressDirectoryToZipfile(String rootDir, String sourceDir, ZipOutputStream out) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException {
    String dir = Paths.get(rootDir, sourceDir).toString();
    for (File file : new File(dir).listFiles()) {
        if (file.isDirectory()) {
            compressDirectoryToZipfile(rootDir, Paths.get(sourceDir,file.getName()).toString(), out);
        } else {
            ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(Paths.get(sourceDir,file.getName()).toString());
            out.putNextEntry(entry);

            FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(Paths.get(rootDir, sourceDir, file.getName()).toString());
            IOUtils.copy(in, out);
            IOUtils.closeQuietly(in);
        }
    }
}
