How do I create checksum for a zip file?

By Wayan in Zip and GZIP 0 Comment

This example demonstrate how to use CheckedOutputStream for creating a checksum of a zip file. Checksum can be used to detect whether a data was corrupted during a transmission process to a remote machine.

package org.kodejava.util.zip;

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Objects;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream;
import java.util.zip.CheckedOutputStream;
import java.util.zip.Adler32;

public class ZipWithChecksum {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String target = "data-1.zip";

        try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(target);
             // An output stream that also maintains a checksum of the data
             // being written. The checksum can then be used to verify the
             // integrity of the output data.
             CheckedOutputStream checksum =
                     new CheckedOutputStream(fos, new Adler32())) {
            try (ZipOutputStream zos =
                         new ZipOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(checksum))) {

                int size;
                byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];

                // Get all text files on the working folder.
                File dir = new File(".");
                String[] files = dir.list((directory, name) -> name.endsWith(".txt"));

                for (String file : Objects.requireNonNull(files)) {
                    System.out.println("Compressing: " + file);

                    try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                         BufferedInputStream bis =
                                 new BufferedInputStream(fis, buffer.length)) {

                        // put a new ZipEntry in the ZipOutputStream
                        ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(file);
                        zos.putNextEntry(zipEntry);

                        // read data to the end of the source file and write it
                        // to the zip output stream.
                        while ((size = bis.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) > 0) {
                            zos.write(buffer, 0, size);
                        }

                        zos.closeEntry();
                    }
                }
            }

            // Print out checksum value
            long value = checksum.getChecksum().getValue();
            System.out.println("Checksum   : " + value);
        }
    }
}

How do I decompress a zip file using ZipFile class?

By Wayan in Zip and GZIP 0 Comment

In this example we use the java.util.zip.ZipFile class to decompress and extract a zip file.

package org.kodejava.util.zip;

import java.util.zip.ZipFile;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.io.*;

public class ZipFileUnzipDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String zipName = "data.zip";

        ZipFile zip = new ZipFile(zipName);
        Enumeration<? extends ZipEntry> enumeration = zip.entries();

        while (enumeration.hasMoreElements()) {
            ZipEntry zipEntry = enumeration.nextElement();
            System.out.println("Unzipping: " + zipEntry.getName());

            int size;
            byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];

            try (BufferedInputStream bis =
                         new BufferedInputStream(zip.getInputStream(zipEntry));
                 FileOutputStream fos =
                         new FileOutputStream(zipEntry.getName());
                 BufferedOutputStream bos =
                         new BufferedOutputStream(fos, buffer.length)) {

                while ((size = bis.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) != -1) {
                    bos.write(buffer, 0, size);
                }
                bos.flush();
            }
        }
    }
}

How do I decompress a zip file using ZipInputStream?

By Wayan in Zip and GZIP 0 Comment

The code below shows how to decompress and extract files from a zip archive. In the example we use the java.util.zip.ZipInputStream class.

package org.kodejava.util.zip;

import java.io.*;
import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;

public class UnzipDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String zipName = "data.zip";

        try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(zipName);
             ZipInputStream zis =
                 new ZipInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(fis))) {

            ZipEntry entry;

            // Read each entry from the ZipInputStream until no
            // more entry found indicated by a null return value
            // of the getNextEntry() method.
            while ((entry = zis.getNextEntry()) != null) {
                System.out.println("Unzipping: " + entry.getName());

                int size;
                byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];

                try (FileOutputStream fos =
                         new FileOutputStream(entry.getName());
                     BufferedOutputStream bos =
                         new BufferedOutputStream(fos, buffer.length)) {

                    while ((size = zis.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) != -1) {
                        bos.write(buffer, 0, size);
                    }
                    bos.flush();
                }
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

How do I check if a string is a valid date?

By Wayan in Core API, Text Package 1 Comment

The following code can be used to validate if a string contains a valid date information. The pattern of the date is defined by the java.text.SimpleDateFormat object. When the date is not valid a java.text.ParseException will be thrown.

package org.kodejava.text;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;

public class DateValidation {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");

        // Input to be parsed should strictly follow the defined date format
        // above.
        format.setLenient(false);

        String date = "29/18/2021";
        try {
            format.parse(date);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            System.out.println("Date " + date + " is not valid according to " +
                    format.toPattern() + " pattern.");
        }
    }
}

The result of the above date validation code is:

Date 29/18/2021 is not valid according to dd/MM/yyyy pattern.

How do I get Java Home directory?

By Wayan in Core API, Lang Package 0 Comment

To get Java Home directory we can obtain it from system properties using the java.home key.

package org.kodejava.lang;

public class JavaHomeDirectory {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String javaHome = System.getProperty("java.home");
        System.out.println("JAVA HOME = " + javaHome);
    }
}

On my computer this code give me the following output:

JAVA HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17
