Class AbstractJarURLConnection

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    MemoryJarURLConnection, XJarURLConnection
    public abstract class AbstractJarURLConnection
extends java.net.URLConnection
    A URL Connection to a Java ARchive (JAR) file or an entry in a JAR file.

    The syntax of a JAR URL is:

     jar:<url>!/{entry}

    for example:

    jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/COM/foo/Quux.class

    Jar URLs should be used to refer to a JAR file or entries in a JAR file. The example above is a JAR URL which refers to a JAR entry. If the entry name is omitted, the URL refers to the whole JAR file: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/

    Users should cast the generic URLConnection to a JarURLConnection when they know that the URL they created is a JAR URL, and they need JAR-specific functionality. For example:

     URL url = new URL("jar:file:/home/duke/duke.jar!/");
 JarURLConnection jarConnection = (JarURLConnection)url.openConnection();
 Manifest manifest = jarConnection.getManifest();

    JarURLConnection instances can only be used to read from JAR files. It is not possible to get a OutputStream to modify or write to the underlying JAR file using this class.

    Examples:

    A Jar entry
    jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/COM/foo/Quux.class
    A Jar file
    jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/
    A Jar directory
    jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/COM/foo/

    !/ is referred to as the separator.

    When constructing a JAR url via new URL(context, spec), the following rules apply:

    • if there is no context URL and the specification passed to the URL constructor doesn't contain a separator, the URL is considered to refer to a JarFile.
    • if there is a context URL, the context URL is assumed to refer to a JAR file or a Jar directory.
    • if the specification begins with a '/', the Jar directory is ignored, and the spec is considered to be at the root of the Jar file.

      Examples:

      context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/, spec:baz/entry.txt
      url:jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz/entry.txt
      context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz, spec:entry.txt
      url:jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz/entry.txt
      context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz, spec:/entry.txt
      url:jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/entry.txt
