multiple file export as zip file (using DownloadAction class in struts)

[Chrix Wu]

Hi folks, I have a set of files store in db as blob type , and i need to export all these files as zip file using DownloadAction.

I know how to export each file one by one, i just need to override the DownloadAction.StreamInfo inner class, and returns the input stream of blob file,

but what about zip ? can anyone suggest the way to do this? thanks!

the solution i saw on the web is about packing existing files as zip.

is there a solution that, i can accepts a set of streams ?

Have you tried package java.util.zip ? http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.util.zip/CreateZip.html

Hi, thanks for you reply.

I have read the example, but is that means i need to do following:
1. transforms the blob data in the database to a set of files?
2. then packs the files into zip?

is there a way to avoid creating the files, and creates only the zip file
