I assume you're using GaeVFS (http://code.google.com/p/gaevfs/)? Basically, you need to create a java.util.ZipInputStream instance to read the zip file.
GaeVFS implements a file system API based on Apache Commons VFS (http://commons.apache.org/vfs/). To open an InputStream for a file using GaeVFS do the following: FileSystemManager fsManager = GaeVFS.getManager(); FileObject zipFileObject = fsManager.resolveFile( "/path/to/myZipFile.zip" ); InputStream in = zipFileObject.getContent().getInputStream(); Now you can create a ZipInputStream to read the file: ZipInputStream zipIn = new ZipInputStream( in ); If you're so inclined, you can reduce this all to: ZipInputStream zipIn = new ZipInputStream( GaeVFS.resolveFile( "/path/to/myZipFile.zip" ).getContent().getInputStream() ); Don't forget to close the ZipInputStream when you're finished with it. See the following for more information: http://code.google.com/p/gaevfs/wiki/UsingGaeVFS http://code.google.com/p/gaevfs/wiki/CombinedLocalOption http://code.google.com/p/gaevfs/wiki/ApplicationPortability Vince On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 5:09 AM, deft <somondig...@gmail.com> wrote: > > once I have uploaded a zip file onto the GAE Virtual File System, how > do I access the zip entries. am really stuck here. could someone help > me out?! > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
