faster ZipEntry writing?

hi,

i have a class that needs to write a bunch of zip entries. I am trying to streamline

it, and my biggest chokepoint is my function that instantiates the next zipEntry.

Here is my question:

Once i've written my current zipEntry, is there a way to rename the same zipEntry and reuse it (so to speak), or do i always have to call the constructor in order to

assign its name?

thanks

Are you sure that this is where the bottleneck is (could this just be slow the first time)?

Which constructor are you using?

As far as I can tell from a quick look at the source the construction of a ZipEntry does very little; except possibly when the class is loaded as it does some static stuff that calls a native method.

lameness,

yes, you're right. i was focusing on that part and didn't look a little farther down

to find the

ZOS.write(.....) function that is also included.....

that must be what's slowing it down. i will do some further eval and (most likely)

post a follow up question soon. thanks
