How to loop through a ZipEntry recursively

I have a zip file inside a zip file. So i will need to recursively unzip.The input is coming in as a byte array

zis = new ZipInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream((byte[])byteArray));
while((entry = zis.getNextEntry()) != null)
{
processZip(entry, byteArray);
}

Inside the processZip(entry, byteArray) i am reading individual entry. How do i handle it when the entry value is a zip file. How can i convert the zipentry object into a Zipfile or enumerate through it ?

You need to adjust processZip() to take the ZipInputStream as an InputStream parameter, instead of the byte array. Internally it should construct another ZipInputStream around that InputStream and do what you're doing here.

NB Why do you have a byte array? You should be reading the ZipInputStream directly from the source: a socket, a file, whatever. Don't load files into memory.
