- All Implemented Interfaces: 
 - java.util.zip.ZipConstants
 
- public class JarInputStream
- extends ZipInputStream
  
The JarInputStream class is used to read the contents of
 a JAR file from any input stream. It extends the class
 java.util.zip.ZipInputStream with support for reading
 an optional Manifest entry. The Manifest
 can be used to store meta-information about the JAR file and its entries.

 - 1.2

JarInputStream
public JarInputStream(InputStream in)
               throws IOException
- Creates a new 
JarInputStream and reads the optional
 manifest. If a manifest is present, also attempts to verify
 the signatures if the JarInputStream is signed.
- Parameters:
 in - the actual input stream- Throws:
 IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
 
 
JarInputStream
public JarInputStream(InputStream in,
                      boolean verify)
               throws IOException
- Creates a new 
JarInputStream and reads the optional
 manifest. If a manifest is present and verify is true, also attempts 
 to verify the signatures if the JarInputStream is signed.
- Parameters:
 in - the actual input streamverify - whether or not to verify the JarInputStream if
 it is signed.- Throws:
 IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
 
 
getManifest
public Manifest getManifest()
- Returns the 
Manifest for this JAR file, or
 null if none.
- Returns:
 - the 
Manifest for this JAR file, or
         null if none. 
 
 
getNextEntry
public ZipEntry getNextEntry()
                      throws IOException
- Reads the next ZIP file entry and positions stream at the beginning
 of the entry data.
- Overrides:
 getNextEntry in class ZipInputStream
 
- Throws:
 ZipException - if a ZIP file error has occurredIOException - if an I/O error has occurred
 
 
getNextJarEntry
public JarEntry getNextJarEntry()
                         throws IOException
- Reads the next JAR file entry and positions the stream at the
 beginning of the entry data.
- Returns:
 - the next JAR file entry
 - Throws:
 ZipException - if a ZIP file error has occurredIOException - if an I/O error has occurred
 
 
read
public int read(byte[] b,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws IOException
- Reads from the current JAR file entry into an array of bytes.
 Blocks until some input is available.
- Overrides:
 read in class ZipInputStream
 
- Parameters:
 b - the buffer into which the data is readoff - the start offset of the datalen - the maximum number of bytes to read- Returns:
 - the actual number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of the
         entry is reached
 - Throws:
 ZipException - if a ZIP file error has occurredIOException - if an I/O error has occurred
 
 
createZipEntry
protected ZipEntry createZipEntry(String name)
- Creates a new 
JarEntry (ZipEntry) for the
 specified JAR file entry name.
- Overrides:
 createZipEntry in class ZipInputStream
 
- Parameters:
 name - the name of the JAR/ZIP file entry- Returns:
 - the 
JarEntry object just created
