Description

I am trying to create a zip archive. I am having a empty directory "test" . When i try to create it to archive . The archive created but the test folder is created as file. And also I got the below exception.

Temp file created at C:\Users\Soundar\AppData\Local\Temp\sample5278197872513888977.zip
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: This archives contains unclosed entries.
at org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipArchiveOutputStream.finish(ZipArchiveOutputStream.java:343)
at org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipArchiveOutputStream.close(ZipArchiveOutputStream.java:550)
at com.tcs.tools.archive.test.ArchiveTest.createArchive(ArchiveTest.java:64)
at com.tcs.tools.archive.test.ArchiveTest.main(ArchiveTest.java:119)

Code used
-------------

protected File createArchive(String archivename) throws Exception {
ArchiveOutputStream out = null;
OutputStream stream = null;
ArchiveStreamFactory factory = new ArchiveStreamFactory();
try

{ File archive = File.createTempFile("sample", "." + archivename); System.out.println("Temp file created at " + archive.getAbsolutePath()); List archiveList = new ArrayList(); stream = new FileOutputStream(archive); out = factory.createArchiveOutputStream(archivename, stream); final File file7 = new File("C:\\Users\\Soundar\\Desktop\\test"); addArchiveEntry(out, "test", file7); System.out.println("Going to process directory"); System.out.println("Directory Name =" + file7.getName()); ArchiveEntry entry = out.createArchiveEntry(file7, "test"); out.putArchiveEntry(entry); IOUtils.copy(new FileInputStream(file7), out); out.closeArchiveEntry(); out.finish(); return archive; }

finally {
if (out != null)

{ out.close(); }

else if (stream != null)

{ stream.close(); }

}
}

Note
------

I tried the same archiving using the compressed zip of Windows Vista default feature. It creates the Sample.zip which contains the empty test folder as archived.

I know there is a work around using java.util.zip.zipEntry. But is there a work around in our Compress itself?
