How do Unzip a directory and all its contents using ZipEntry class in java.

In this Example, We will discuss the use isDirectory method of ZipEntry class. The
ZipEntry class is used show the single entry in ZIP file. The ZipEntery class provides
methods for retrieving informationrelated to entry. The ZipEntry class is available in
java.util.zip package. The isDirectory method of ZipEntry class returns Boolean
value either true or false, if given file is directory then returns true otherwise returns false.

In this Example, We will discuss about the isDirectory method and how to extract zip file.
The ZipFele class create an object of given zip file and read entries. The Enumeration class
create an object . The entries() method of ZipFile class returns enumeration of the zip file.
The hasMoreElements() of method of Enumeration class checks availability of entry. The
nextElements() of Enumeration class returns next elements of enumeration. The isDirectory
method of ZipEntry class check given file is directory or not.The getName method of ZipEntry
class return the name of associated entry. The mkdir() method of File class creates directory
of specific name.

About ZIPEntry API:

Return Type	Method	Description
Boolean	isDirectory()	The isDirectory() Method returns true if zip file is directory otherwise false.
String	getName()	The method getName() returns name of the associated entry.
void	write(byte buffer, int offset, int length)	The write(..) method writes an array of bytes onto the associated stream.

      }

      zip.close();

    } catch (IOException ioe) {

System.out.println("There is an IoException Occured :" + ioe); ioe.printStackTrace(); return; } } }

Following is the output if you run the application:

C:\>java ZipDirectory C:\Work\Bharat\today\directory\file.zip
Name of Extract directory : data/
Name of Extract directory : data/New Folder/
Name of Extract fille : data/New Folder/url.txt
Name of Extract directory : design/
Name of Extract fille : design/dark_pixel.gif
Name of Extract fille : design/donate.gif
