I have a database that contains blobs and a password protected zip inside this database, using the standard File object approach i traditionally see
File zipFile = new File("C:\\file.zip");
net.lingala.zip4j.core.ZipFile table = new net.lingala.zip4j.core.ZipFile(zipFile);
if (table.isEncrypted())
table.setPassword(password);
net.lingala.zip4j.model.FileHeader entry = table.getFileHeader("file_inside_the_zip.txt");
return table.getInputStream(entry); //Decrypted inputsteam!
my question is, how do i implement something like this without the use of temporary files, and purely obtaining an inputstream of the blob alone, so far i have something like this
InputStream zipStream = getFileFromDataBase("stuff.zip");
//This point forward I have to save zipStream as a temporary file and use the traditional code above
I believe it is not possible via zip4j as it is very centered around files.
Have a look at this one: http://blog.alutam.com/2012/03/31/new-library-for-reading-and-writing-zip-files-in-java/
