FileInputStream and empty directories

Question

How can I read an empty directory to a byte array? I'm currently reading it like this:
in = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(aux));
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buffer)) > 0)
   out.write(buffer, 0, len);Thanx in advance! :)

Answer 1

you don't.
if(aux.isDirectory()) {
byte[] dir = new byte[0];
} else {
The goal is to include an empty directory on a zip. I think I need to write something, to a subsequent ZipOutputStream - the following code isn't working properly:
    if(aux.isDirectory()){
                out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(aux.getPath()));
                out.write(new byte[0],0,0);       
    }It writes a 0 byte file to the Zip file, not a directory. It'll do the same thing if I remove "out.write(new byte[0],0,0);"
What am I doing wrong?
Thanx! :)
