Program: How to compress and store objects using zip utility?
Description: |
Sometimes we need to transfer large amount of objects over the network. We can improve the
performance by compressing the objects before sending them across the network and uncompress them at the another end.
Below example gives code for how to compress objects and store them to a file. Make sure that the class which is going to be
compressed should implement Serializable interface.

Code: |
package com.java2novice.zip;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream;
public class MyObjectStore {
public static void main(String a[]){
Mobile m1 = new Mobile("1234566778", "JOCK");
Mobile m2 = new Mobile("7686291729", "Mike");
FileOutputStream fos = null;
GZIPOutputStream gos = null;
ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream("C:/MyObjectStore");
gos = new GZIPOutputStream(fos);
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(gos);
oos.writeObject(m1);
oos.writeObject(m2);
oos.flush();
System.out.println("Done... Objects are compressed and stored");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} finally{
try{
if(oos != null) oos.close();
if(fos != null) fos.close();
} catch(Exception ex){
}
}
}
}
class Mobile implements Serializable{
private String number;
private String owner;
public Mobile(String num, String own){
this.number = num;
this.owner = own;
}
public String getNumber() {
return number;
}
public void setNumber(String number) {
this.number = number;
}
public String getOwner() {
return owner;
}
public void setOwner(String owner) {
this.owner = owner;
}
}

Output: |
Done... Objects are compressed and stored

Difference between super() and this()
super() is used to call super class constructor, whereas this() used to call
constructors in the same class, means to call parameterized constructors.
We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
