Workarounds

  1. 95% success Verify the ZIP file integrity by checking its size and content before processing: if (zipFile.size() == 0) { throw new IOException("Empty ZIP file"); } else { try (ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(zipFile))) { ZipEntry entry = zis.getNextEntry(); if (entry == null) { throw new IOException("ZIP file has no entries"); } } }

  2. 90% success Re-download or regenerate the ZIP file from the source, ensuring the transfer is complete and the file is not truncated. Use checksums (e.g., MD5) to verify integrity.

中文步骤

  1. Verify the ZIP file integrity by checking its size and content before processing: if (zipFile.size() == 0) { throw new IOException("Empty ZIP file"); } else { try (ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(zipFile))) { ZipEntry entry = zis.getNextEntry(); if (entry == null) { throw new IOException("ZIP file has no entries"); } } }
  2. Re-download or regenerate the ZIP file from the source, ensuring the transfer is complete and the file is not truncated. Use checksums (e.g., MD5) to verify integrity.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 80% fail

    ZIP files have a specific structure; manual edits without understanding the format usually result in an invalid archive.

  2. 90% fail

    The underlying issue (failed download or generation) remains unsolved; the new file may also be empty.
