Hi Cristi,
I am using the Apache Jakarta Commons Compress library to
untar .tar files. All works fine until I try to untar a
file with the .tar extension but whose contents is not a
well formed TAR file.
Have you considered writing a wrapper around Compress which contains your
input stream and checks the first record in the tar using getNextEntry()
for a non-null entry, otherwise throwing an exception.
---- BEGIN CODE ----
tis = new TarInputStream(new FileInputStream(archFile));
TarEntry te = null;
while ((te = tis.getNextEntry()) != null)
{
/* SOME PROCESSING HERE */
}
---- END CODE ----
Within the piece of code above, no exception is thrown if "archFile" is
not a well formed TAR file. The "te" variable gets a non null value
after the call to getNextEntry(), so how can I see if the tar file is
a bad one ?
Thx again
cristi
Cheers,
Raf
