ZIp files Asynchronously using java.util.zip

[David P]

Hello dear Vertx Community,

I want ot ZIP files suing the  java.util.zip like code sample below:

(source: Zipping and Unzipping in Java | Baeldung)

------------------------------

String sourceFile = "test1.txt"; FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("compressed.zip"); ZipOutputStream zipOut = new ZipOutputStream(fos); File fileToZip = new File(sourceFile); FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileToZip); ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(fileToZip.getName()); zipOut.putNextEntry(zipEntry); byte[] bytes = new byte[1024]; int length; while((length = fis.read(bytes)) >= 0) { zipOut.write(bytes, 0, length); } zipOut.close(); fis.close(); fos.close();

------------------------------------------------------------

How to perform the I/O operation (write to file) Asynchronously (with EventLoop Thread)?

1. - Is there a way to ZIP files using ONLY Vertx toolbox?
2. - Is there a way to "bridge" java.io.OutputStream for ZipOutputStream to io.vertx.core.streams.WriteStrea of io.vertx.core.file.AsyncFile?
3. Else, Should I use a WorkerThread to perform this Synchronous operation?
   

Thanks,

David

I also encountered the same issue? Could anyone give some advices?

I think what should be done is to use a worker thread and work with
java.io files

It could be possible to use the event loop by compressing the stream
by chunks along with vertx async files too and not block the event
loop, but it seems a bit technical to achieve and perhaps worthless if
you only need to compress a single file.

Thanks Julien.

We use a Worker Thread to zip files with Jave.io.
