Question

I have a jar file that has a file named ‘client.ts’ in (when viewing in ZipGenius) ‘/com/something/messaging’. When I do

JarFile jarFile = new JarFile('Client.jar'); JarEntry zipFile = jarFile.getJarEntry('client.ts'); 

It can’t find the ‘client.ts’ file. If I package the file in ‘/resources/’ instead it can find it. Does JarFile.getEntry() only drill down one directory? The javadoc for getJarEntry() simply says: Returns the ZipEntry for the given entry name or null if not found.

Answer 1

The full path of the entry within the JAR should work:

JarEntry zipFile = jarFile.getJarEntry('com/something/messaging/client.ts');
