ZipEntry to java.io.File

[mikeymoo]

I have a zip file containing folders which in turn contains xml files I would like to parse. I have the content as ZipEntry objects and my parser takes InputSource objects.

In the translation i keep messing up and I get the following error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: metadata\coreProperties.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)
	at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
	at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
	at java.io.FileReader.<init>(Unknown Source)
	at StealsMain.main(StealsMain.java:90)

I have tried to locate the problem and it seems to come from the following:

String currentFile = fileName + "/" + g2;
File curr = new File(currentFile);
					System.out.println(curr.toString());
					System.out.println(curr.exists());

Here fileName is the path to the zip file and g2 is the path inside the zip file.
the first System.out.println gives the correct location of the file:
/.../My Documents\FilB.slx\metadata\coreProperties.xml
But the second claims the file does not exist, which is why I cant pass it to the parser (after making it an inputsource).

How can I go from zipEntry to file object?

The new File(currentFile) part just creates a new file object in memory, thus the System.out.println(curr.toString()); prints its supposed location (this does not mean that the file exists physically). The fact that System.out.println(curr.exists()); returns false means that the file does not exist. This proves that the file path you provide for the xmls is incorrect. I'd recommend verifying the input file path.
