java util zip ZipException error in opening zip file

Question

I have a Jar file  which contains other nested Jars  When I invoke the new JarFile   constructor on this file  I get an exception which says      java util zip ZipException  error in opening zip file   When I manually unzip the contents of this Jar file and zip it up again  it works fine   I only see this exception on WebSphere 6 1 0 7 and higher versions  The same thing works fine on tomcat and WebLogic    When I use JarInputStream instead of JarFile  I am able to read the contents of the Jar file without any exceptions

I ve seen this exception before when whatever the JVM considers to be a temp directory is not accessible due to not being there or not having permission to write

I was getting exception  java util zip ZipException  invalid entry CRC  expected 0x0 but got 0xdeadface      at java util zip ZipInputStream read ZipInputStream java 221      at java util zip ZipInputStream closeEntry ZipInputStream java 140      at java util zip ZipInputStream getNextEntry ZipInputStream java 118        when unzipping an archive in Java  The archive itself didn t seem corrupted as 7zip  and others  opened it without any problems or complaints about invalid CRC   I switched to Apache Commons Compress for reading the zip-entries and that resolved the problem

Make sure your jar file is not corrupted  If it s corrupted or not able to unzip  this error will occur

I faced the same problem  I had a zip archive which java util zip ZipFile was not able to handle but WinRar unpacked it just fine  I found article on SDN about compressing and decompressing options in Java  I slightly modified one of example codes to produce method which was finally capable of handling the archive  Trick is in using ZipInputStream instead of ZipFile and in sequential reading of zip archive  This method is also capable of handling empty zip archive  I believe you can adjust the method to suit your needs as all zip classes have equivalent subclasses for  jar archives    public void unzipFileIntoDirectory File archive  File destinationDir       throws Exception       final int BUFFER SIZE   1024      BufferedOutputStream dest   null      FileInputStream fis   new FileInputStream archive       ZipInputStream zis   new ZipInputStream new BufferedInputStream fis        ZipEntry entry      File destFile      while   entry   zis getNextEntry       null            destFile   FilesystemUtils combineFileNames destinationDir  entry getName             if  entry isDirectory                  destFile mkdirs                continue            else               int count              byte data     new byte BUFFER SIZE               destFile getParentFile   mkdirs                FileOutputStream fos   new FileOutputStream destFile               dest   new BufferedOutputStream fos  BUFFER SIZE               while   count   zis read data  0  BUFFER SIZE      -1                    dest write data  0  count                             dest flush                dest close                fos close                        zis close        fis close

Liquibase was getting this error for me  I resolved this after I debugged and watched liquibase try to load the libraries and found that it was erroring on the manifest files for commons-codec-1 6 jar  Essentially  there is either a corrupt zip file somewhere in your path or there is a incompatible version being used  When I did an explore on Maven repository for this library  I found there were newer versions and added the newer version to the pom xml   I was able to proceed at this point

It could be related to log4j  Do you have log4j jar file in the websphere java classpath  as defined in the startup file  as well as the application classpath   If you do make sure that the log4j jar file is in the java classpath and that it is NOT in the web-inf lib directory of your webapp   It can also be related with the ant version  may be not your case  but I do put it here for reference    You have a  class file in your class path  i e  not a directory or a  jar file   Starting with ant 1 6  ant will open the files in the classpath checking for manifest entries  This attempted opening will fail with the error  quot java util zip ZipException quot  The problem does not exist with ant 1 5 as it does not try to open the files  - so make sure that your classpath s do not contain  class files    On a side note  did you consider having separate jars   You could in the manifest of your main jar  refer to the other jars with this attribute  Class-Path  one jar two jar three jar  Then  place all of your jars in the same folder  Again  may be not valid for your case  but still there for reference

I saw this with a specific Zip-file with Java 6  but it went away when I upgrade to Java 8  did not test Java 7   so it seems newer versions of ZipFile in Java support more compression algorithms and thus can read files which fail with earlier versions

Simply to overcome the ZipException s  i have used a wrapper for commons-compress1 14 called jarchivelibwritten by thrau that makes it easy to extract or compress from and into File objects   Example   public static void main String   args            String zipfilePath                     E  Selenium Server geckodriver-v0 19 0-linux64 tar gz                      E  Selenium Server geckodriver-v0 19 0-win32 zip           String outdir    E  Selenium Server            exratctFileList zipfilePath  outdir      public void exratctFileList  String zipfilePath  String outdir   throws IOException       File archive   new File  zipfilePath        File destinationDir   new File  outdir         Archiver archiver   null      if  zipfilePath endsWith   zip               archiver   ArchiverFactory createArchiver  ArchiveFormat ZIP          else if   zipfilePath endsWith   tar gz               archiver   ArchiverFactory createArchiver  ArchiveFormat TAR  CompressionType GZIP              archiver extract archive  destinationDir        ArchiveStream stream   archiver stream  archive        ArchiveEntry entry       while   entry   stream getNextEntry       null             String entryName   entry getName            System out println  Entery Name      entryName              stream close        Maven dependency    You can download the jars from the Sonatype Maven Repository at org rauschig jarchivelib       lt dependency gt     lt groupId gt org rauschig lt  groupId gt     lt artifactId gt jarchivelib lt  artifactId gt     lt version gt 0 7 1 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt       see   Archivers and Compressors Compressing and Decompressing Data Using Java APIs
