Jarsigner: invalid END header (bad central directory offset)

I signed a jar (which is a standalone application) with:
C:\>jarsigner -keystore myKeystore myJar.jar
I verified it with
C:\>jarsigner -verbose -verify myJar.jar
It was OK.
I updloaded it to my web site via ftp.
When I try to to downlod it via Java Web Start, I get a java.util.zip.ZipException.
If I try to verify it again with jarsigner, I get:
jarsigner: java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid END header (bad central directory offset).
Can anyone tell me where the jar file may have been corrupted ?
Thanks a lot
Norberto

You were right, John.
Thanks a lot.
I hope to help you one day.
Norberto:
Did you remember to ftp myJar.jar in binary mode? As
I recall, ftp assumes things are ASCII files and does
funny things to the file if it is actually a binary.
A good way to check this, I would think would
calculate the MD5 hash of your signed Jar file just
after you have signed it and then again on the other
end after you've FTPed it with "md5sum myJar.jar" (or
whatever the windows equivalent is, if applicable).
At least that would be where I'd start to look for
something that "messed up" your jar file.
Good luck,
John

Java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid END header

I get this error when I run the code:
try {
jFile = new JarFile(jarBuildFile.getAbsolutePath());
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println("Got exception: "+ex);
but only on very large jar files - about 2.5GB in size.
With JDK 1.4, I get the error, jar file too large.
With JDK 1.5, I get the above error (invalid END header).
With JDK 1.6, it reads the file for about 5 seconds, then reports that the file cannot be opened.
Smaller jar files work fine. This jar file has two files in it, a small XML file and a large video file.
I'm running under windows XP.
Doing a jar -tvf (jdk 1.5) on the large jar file works fine.
The file was built with the jar command (jdk 1.5).
Is this a bug in the JDK?
Thank you!

I ran into this problem today too and found out it was due to the fact that I had a jar in my war that I was trying to deploy that had a file format of unicode instead of binary (it had been checked into source control system incorrectly). After updating the jar with the proper format (binary), the problem went away.The other reported problems are due to file size, not content.

INVALID END HEADER FORMAT error

I have just installed the Oracle 9i database on windows NT server, but the
Oracle Database Configuration Assistant returns INVALID END HEADER FORMAT error, eachtime i attempt to create a new database.
Oracle 9i software is installed, but no database was created. How can i solve this problem?
or how can i create the database manaully?

Hi,
If you don't have a database error (ORA-), then you're probably hitting some sort of DBCA bug. I'd use the DBCA to generate scripts and then run the scripts manually to see if you can create a database that way.
http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/eac/knowledgebaseAnswer/0,295199,sid63_gci1054696,00.html
Are you able to create scripts through DBCA if yes then you can create your database with help of scripts.
go through below link for manually database creation ( it is also some working in Oracle 9i. After scripts creation. Script creation is different then oracle 10g.)
http://dbataj.blogspot.com/search/label/Database%20Creation
if not then you hit bug ( according to above mention link) raise a iTAR.

Invalid END header format/no output available for this tool

help me.
I install oracle 9i into windows 2k server with pack3. when configuring the ODCA, when OUI prompt:
invalid END header format&
no output available for this tool.
who can tell me that what is happen?
before this, i had installed this version on windows 2003.

Dear All
I have the same problem when installing Oracle9iasR2 on a windows 2000 IBM server
At the database configuration Assistant of the infrastructutre installation I am always getting this strange message Not a ZIP file (End Header Not found).
We have tried a lot off scenarios to install Oracle9iasr2 but the installation always fails at the database creation with the followning message
Not a ZIP file (End Header Not found).
We had also tried to do the installation using a different copy of CD's with no success.
Also the same installation on the same server was succesfull with O/S Win2003.
Then the whole installation fails .
If anyone has ever faced the same problem and had solved it please advice.
Thank you in advance.

Invalid CEN header ( bad signature )

I get this reeor when I try to import .par file in NWS.
invalid CEN header ( bad signature )
also say that The Plugin "com.sap.portal.plugins.config-archiver" caused an exception during the unpack opreation

Hello! experts,
I got the same error but i manage to solve it.
While trying to import the par file, please ensure the 'Project root folder' is giving correctly.
In my case, when i got the error, the folder i initially selected was not there.
Check if the Project folder you are selecting is there or folder is read / write.
This will solve your problem.
Thanks!

Invalid end header format

Hi experts,
I installed oracle 9i on windows Xp. At the end of insatllation, i got error called "Invalid end Header format".
How can i overcome this?
Advance thanks,
With best regards
sundaravel.R

Insufficient information.
What is 9i? Are you referring to 9.0 or 9.2 and then that could be anything from 9.2.0.1 through 9.2.0.8.
And what is XP? Is this the HOME edition which is unsupported or something else? And which service pack?
It is impossible to advise you beyond suggesting you provide a lot more information and suggest you consider installing currently supported, not Neolithic, software.

~Thanks

I think this is multi-part archive file. Basically, you have to put these files in one big file and unzip that file..
E.g you must have at least 2 zip files with ext a and b.. EG. for AIX platform there are 2 zip files in the downld zip files.
Step 1: cat p4547817_10202_AIX64-5L.zip.a p4547817_10202_AIX64-5L.zip.b > p4547817_10202_AIX64-5L.zip
Step 2: Make sure the checksum is correct as per the file howto.txt.
$ > /usr/bin/cksum p4547817_10202_AIX64-5L.zip
should produce output 3252003388 1319974395 p4547817_10202_AIX64-5L.zip
Step 3: unzip p4547817_10202_AIX64-5L.zip

'Invalid Volume Header' - Repair - is drive safe?

Hi there.
Failure to mount external firewire 1TB Maxtor
error was 'Invalid Volume Header"
Data Rescue II recovered files to another drive.
Diskwarrior COULD create another Directory, but could NOT exchange it for the faulty one ?!
I ended up using Disk Utility to Reformat the Drive.
Question is, can I trust this drive or do I need to ditch it?...

Simple answer: No drive is safe.
An error like the one you saw doesn't necessarily have to be indicative of a failing drive and could have been the result of some other system error, a power fluctuation, whatever. Still, if your data is that valuable you should have it all backed up on a second drive too. You can never trust any drive 100% as they can fail at any time. This isn't just referring to mechanical failure but a recurrence of the kind of thing you just saw.

Getting "java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header"

When creating a self made Stream (MacInputStream) and then using an ObjectInputStream over it to read Objects from a socket, I get this error:
java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header
     at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readStreamHeader(ObjectInputStream.java:764)
     at java.io.ObjectInputStream.<init>(ObjectInputStream.java:277)
     at TServidor.run(TServidor.java:32)
Is there any special feature that the "self-made" streams have to implement to be possible to use ObjectInput streams over them :P ?
Here is the MacInputStream.java code:
import java.io.Closeable;
import java.io.FilterInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.Arrays;
import javax.crypto.Mac;
public class MacInputStream extends FilterInputStream implements Closeable{

     private byte [] mmac; //message MAC
     private boolean FIRST_TIME;
     public MacInputStream(InputStream is,Mac mac) {
          super(is);
          this.mac=mac;
          FIRST_TIME=true;
public int read() throws IOException{
          if(FIRST_TIME){
               mmac = new byte [mac.getMacLength()];
               super.read(mmac);
          if(super.in.available()==0){
               FIRST_TIME=true;
               return -1;
          int rbyte = super.in.read();
          FIRST_TIME=false;
          mac.update((byte)rbyte);
          System.out.println("available: "+super.in.available());
          if(super.in.available()==0){
               byte [] macres =mac.doFinal();
               System.out.println("message MAC: "+new String(mmac));
               System.out.println("calculated MAC: "+new String(macres));
               if(!Arrays.equals(macres, mmac)){
                    throw new IOException("violated integrity");
          return rbyte;
public int read(byte [] b) throws IOException{
     if(FIRST_TIME){
          mmac = new byte [mac.getMacLength()];
          super.in.read(mmac);
     if(super.available()==0){
          FIRST_TIME=true;
          return -1;
     int rbytes = super.in.read(b);
     FIRST_TIME=false;
     mac.update(b);
     if(super.available()==0){
          byte [] macres =mac.doFinal();
          if(!Arrays.equals(macres, mmac)){
               throw new IOException("violated integrity");
     return rbytes;
}And here is the "main" function where the exception gets thrown:
public void run() {
     try {
          ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
          Mac mac = Mac.getInstance("HmacMD5");
          Key key = KeyGenerator.getInstance("HmacMD5").generateKey();
          oos.writeObject(key);
          oos.flush();
          mac.init(key);
          ObjectInputStream cis = new ObjectInputStream(new MacInputStream(s.getInputStream(),mac));
         String test;
         try {
               while (true) {
                    test = (String)cis.readObject();
                    System.out.println(ct + " : " + test);
          } catch (EOFException e) {
               System.out.println("["+ct + "]");
          } finally {
          if (cis!=null) cis.close();
          if (oos!=null) oos.close();
     } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
    }It's exactly in the line: ObjectInputStream cis = new ObjectInputStream(new MacInputStream(s.getInputStream(),mac));Any ideas?
I'm starting to desperate :P

(a) I still don't see where you are writing the MAC that you're reading. You're reading something, but it's all or part of the Object stream header I described above, which is why ObjectInputStream' constructor is throwing that exception.
(b) You don't need to override read(byte[] b) when you extend FilterInputStream, but you do need to override read(byte[] b, int offset, int length), and you need to do it like this:
public int read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int length) throws IOException
int count = 0;
do
    int c = read();
    if (c < 0)
        break;
    buffer[offset+count++] = (byte)c;
} while (count < length && available() > 0);
return count > 0 ? count : -1;
}This way the read() method gets to see every byte that's read and to do its MAC thing or whatever it does. The above is one of only two correct uses of available() in existence: it ensures that you only block once while reading, which is the correct behaviour e.g. on a network.

Problem with StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header: 3C68746D

Hi
I am attempting to code a project in Java which involves the user of object serialization to send a String via serialization from an applet embedded in a JSP tp a servlet all files are running on the same machine for testing purposes.
However I seem to be getting StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header: 3C68746D whenever I attempt to read the inputstream once I have written to it.
My code is as follows below (I apologise for the lack of details I have attempted to comment and simplify my code as much as possible for improved readability)
////////////////////////APPLET CODE////////////////
import java.io.*;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.*;

*JSP address http://localhost:8084/TestServ
*Applet is embedded within this page
*Servlet address http://localhost:8084/TestServ/TServ
public class Main extends javax.swing.JApplet {
JFrame jf;//frame for the test applet
JTextArea jt;//result text box
public Main() {
jt=new JTextArea();//set up applet
this.add(jt);
URL servletURL;
HttpURLConnection servletConnection;
InputStream iStream=null;
try
{ //this address as far as is known is correct
servletURL = new URL( "http://localhost:8084/TestServ/TServ" );
//open connection to servlet
servletConnection = (HttpURLConnection)servletURL.openConnection();
//set up connection
servletConnection.setDoInput(true);
servletConnection.setDoOutput(true);
servletConnection.setUseCaches(false);
servletConnection.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
//have tried "GET" and "POST" and "PUT"(PUT not directly compatible with apache servers)
servletConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
servletConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-type","application/octet-stream");
/*Have also tried application/x-java-serialized-object*/
//set object output stream
ObjectOutputStream outStream =
new ObjectOutputStream(servletConnection.getOutputStream());
//write a string for test purposes (As far as I am aware String implements Serializable)
outStream.writeObject("h");
//flush and close connection
//have tried a combination of flush and/or close
outStream.flush();
outStream.close();
//get input stream rdy for objectinput stream
iStream = servletConnection.getInputStream();
catch(IOException e)
jt.setText("Error in output "+e);
ObjectInputStream oInStream=null;
String str = iStream.toString();
//iStream at this point equals ""sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$HttpInputStream@6754d6

//upon even trying to create a objectinputstream using iStream IOException occurs
oInStream = new ObjectInputStream(iStream);
//program does not get any further
oInStream.close();
catch(IOException e)
//this error has been driving me crazy :(
jt.setText("Error in input "+e);
Servlet code is below however it does not even reach this point
(If reading input stream is removed from the applet the servlet provides the same error message)

Thank you for your time I have searched for an answer for some time now and how found people in similar situations however no solution has been found
Any help is appreciated

The servlet isn't writing any objects back in reply. It is writing text. Not the same thing. If you want to read using an ObjectInputStream you have to write using an ObjectOutputStream.

[SOLVED] Massive upgrade broke my system (invalid ELF header)

Hi,
Today I decided to upgrade my system (last time i upgraded was 1 or 2 months ago), but now I can't login.
I use gdm and I tried to login in both KDE and Gnome, with the same error:
/usr/bin/ssh-agent: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libkafs.so.0: invalid ELF header
When I was upgrading my system I noticed the following error for the packages 'pango', 'gconf', 'zsh', 'ktorrent':
/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libotp.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start
/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libkasf.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start
/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start

/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libQtDesignerComponents.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start
This error message is also coming when i use pacman.
Note that I have an another bug (maybe related to this one), I installed 'xsane' and 'libjpeg' (required by xsane), then I ran into lot of troubles: lot of applications didn't start (amarok, pgadmin, xsane...) so I had to ""fix"" this by symlinking libjpeg,62.
I hope we can solve this mess.
Tell me if you need more information

Well, there still a problem, with readline.
When I'm unable to use pacman nor to start postgres, i've got this error:
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I alreadey tried to re-install readline, but it did solve the problem.
Any suggestion?
Edit:
ls -l /usr/lib | grep readline

Edit 2:
In fact readline is not installed, how can i install it without pacman??

Invalid stream header exception

hi all
I have a program to encrypt/decrypt a file using existing secret key
which is generated by my java code and it works fine. I got a key from a friend and an encrypted file to decrypt it but the program throws this exception:
java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header: 87449FAA
Exception in thread "main" java.security.InvalidKeyException: No
installed provider supports this key: (null) this is my code:
try
    //throws exception here
    ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new
FileInputStream("key.dat"));
    key = (SecretKey)in.readObject();
    byte[] raw = key.getEncoded();
    skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(raw, "AES");
    in.close();
catch (Exception e)
    System.out.println(e);
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skeySpec); Honestly i don't know how my friend creates the secret key but i think he uses some key generation tools. I suppose the key file is not corrupted because he used it to encrypt/decrypt other files.

Looks like your friend did not use Java serialization to save the key in the file.

Invalid stream header Exception - AES PBE with SealedObject

I am trying to do an PBE encryption with AES algorithm and SunJCE provider, using the SealedObject class to encrypt/decrypt the data...
And Im still getting the "invalid stream header" exception. Ive searched this forum, readed lots of posts, examples etc...
Here is my code for encryption (i collected it from more classes, so hopefully I didnt forget anything...):
    //assume that INPUT_STREAM is the source of plaintext
    //and OUTPUT_STREAM is the stream to save the ciphertext data to
    char[] pass; //assume initialized password
    SecureRandom r = new SecureRandom();
    byte[] salt = new byte[20];
    r.nextBytes(salt);
    SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1");
    KeySpec keySpec = new PBEKeySpec(pass, salt, 1536, 128);
    SecretKey pbKey = factory.generateSecret(keySpec);
    SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(pbKey.getEncoded(), "AES");
    Cipher ciph = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CTR/NoPadding");
    ciph.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
    ByteArrayOutputStream byteOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int ch;
    while ((ch = INPUT_STREAM.read()) >= 0) {
      byteOut.write(ch);
    SealedObject sealed = new SealedObject(byteOut.toByteArray(), ciph);
    BufferedOutputStream bufOut = new BufferedOutputStream(OUTPUTSTREAM);
    ObjectOutputStream objOut = new ObjectOutputStream(bufOut);
    objOut.writeObject(sealed);
    objOut.close();
}And here is my code for decrypting:
    //assume that INPUT_STREAM is the source of ciphertext
    //and OUTPUT_STREAM is the stream to save the plaintext data to
    char[] pass; //assume initialized password
    SecureRandom r = new SecureRandom();

    SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1");
    KeySpec keySpec = new PBEKeySpec(pass, salt, 1536, 128);
    SecretKey pbKey = factory.generateSecret(keySpec);
    SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(pbKey.getEncoded(), "AES");
    BufferedInputStream bufIn = new BufferedInputStream(INPUT_STREAM);    //MARK #1

When I delete the r.nextBytes(salt); from both routines, the hashCodes are the same, but that's not the thing I want to do...
I think, that the source of problem can be this part of code (generating the key):
    SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1");
    KeySpec keySpec = new PBEKeySpec(pass, salt, 1536, 128);
    SecretKey pbKey = factory.generateSecret(keySpec);
    SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(pbKey.getEncoded(), "AES");But I derived it from posts like: [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5307763] and [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/992019/java-256bit-aes-encryption] and they claimed it's working there...
Is there anyone that can help me?
Btw, I don't want to use any other providers like Bouncycastle etc. and I want to use PBE with AES and also SealedObject to store the parameters of encryption...

Yes, it really uses only one Cipher object, but it does decoding in a little nonstandard (not often used) way, by using the SealedObject class and its getObject(Key key) method. You can check these links for documentation: [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/crypto/CryptoSpec.html#SealedObject] and [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/crypto/SealedObject.html] So the question is, why it doesn't work also with the AES routines, because it should.
Btw, according to [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html#SunJCEProvider] PBEWithSHA1AndDESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding is a valid JCE algorithm for the Cipher class.
Firstly, I was generating the key for AES enc./decryption this way and it was working:
char[] pass; //assume initialized password
byte[] bpass = new byte[pass.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < pass.length; i++) {
      bpass[i] = (byte) pass;
SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(bpass, "AES");
But I think, that it really wasn't secure, so I wanted to build a key from the password using the PBE.
Maybe there's also a way how to do this part of my AES PBE algorithm: *KeySpec keySpec = new PBEKeySpec(pass, salt, 1536, 128);* manually (with my own algorithm), but I dont know how to do it and I'd like it to be really secure.
Btw, thanks for your will to help.

LWAPP"invalid IP header checksum"

Hello , i hace a problem with a wireless network based on 4 WiSM (two in two 6500) and AP1010. AP's get IP from the DHCP and associate to the controller, but after a while, they start sending a syslog message LWAPP-ERROR: "invalid IP header checksum". I have ping losses and the AP dissasociates, reloads and reassociates to the controller. Does anyone have found the same problem?
thanks

What code are you running on the WLC's? I know that with the AP1010, you can't be running the newer code. that is why I ask.
Is this happening on all 4 WLC's and can you post a snip of the log from the cli.
