In this tutorial you will see the use of setCrc, setSize and getCrc method of ZipEntry class.

In this tutorial you will see the use of setCrc, setSize and getCrc method of ZipEntry class.

Use of setCrc, setSize and getCrc method of ZipEntry class in java.

In this tutorial, We will discuss the use of setCrc, setSize and getCrc method of ZipEntry class.The
ZipEntry class is used to show the single entry of ZIP file. The ZipEntery class provides methods
for retrieving information related to entry. The ZipEntry class is available in java.util.zip package.

In this example, we will set the size and set CRC( Cyclic Redundancy Check ) of entry. The
setCrc method of ZipEntry class set crc_32 checksum of uncompressed entry data, and the getCrc
method of ZipEntry class returns crc_32 checksum of uncompressed entry data. The setSize method
set the uncompressed size of this entry. The getSize method of ZipEntry class returns uncompressed
size of entry data.

About ZIPEntry API:

The java.util.zip.ZIPEntry class extends java.io.FilterIntputStream class. It provides the following methods:

Return Type	Method	Description
void	setCrc()	The setCrc() method set CRC-32 checksum of uncompressed associated entry data.
void	setSize()	The setSize() method set the size of uncompressed associated entry data.
long	getCrc()	The getCrc() method returns crc_32 checksum of uncompressed associated entry data.
long	getSize()	The getSize() method uncompressed size of associated entry data.

code

      CRC32 crc32 = new CRC32();

      ZipOutputStream zipOutStream = new ZipOutputStream(

          (OutputStream) new FileOutputStream(zipfile));

      zipOutStream.setLevel(6);

      ZipEntry zipentry = new ZipEntry(file);

      zipentry.setSize((long) b.length);

      System.out.println("Size of entry after setSize method : "

          + zipentry.getSize());

      crc32.reset();

      crc32.update(b);

      zipentry.setCrc(crc32.getValue());

      System.out.println("Value of crc after setCRC method : "

          + zipentry.getCrc());

      zipOutStream.putNextEntry(zipentry);

      zipOutStream.write(b, 0, b.length);

      zipOutStream.finish();

      zipOutStream.close();

      System.out.println("File successfully compressed");

    } catch (Exception e) {

      e.printStackTrace();

    }

  }

}

Following is the output if you run the application:

C:\>java ZipEntrySetCrc
Size of entry after setSize method : 1024
Value of crc after setCRC method : 2785745967
File successfully compressed
