JarURLConnection

public abstract class JarURLConnection
extends URLConnection

java.lang.Object
↳	java.net.URLConnection
	↳	java.net.JarURLConnection

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 refered 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
