Hi, Sheen --
I haven't really tried this myself and I'm sort of short on time so I'll
just give you some ideas that might unravel this mystery.
Are you certain that xsltFilterBytes[] contains the same number of
elements and that corresponding elements have the same value in both the
freestanding class and jar'd class? Try writing a program that gets the
information both ways and then execute
boolean b = Array.equals(xsltFilterBytesFromClass,
xsltFilterBytesFromZip);
and see if b is true or false.
Since the above will require some restructuring of your program , you
might get similar insights by including the following statements in your
existing code and comparing the values:
System.err.println("inputStream class is " + inputStream.getClass());
System.err.println("total size is " + totalSize);
HTH,
Gary
