The ZIP file sequencer is included in ModeShape and extracts the files and folders contained in the ZIP archive file, extracting the files and folders into the repository using JCR's nt:file and nt:folder built-in node types. The structure of the output thus matches the logical structure of the contents of the ZIP file.

To use this sequencer, simply include the modeshape-sequencer-zip JAR in your application and configure the JcrConfiguration to use this sequencer using something similar to:

JcrConfiguration config = ...


config.sequencer("ZIP Sequencer")

      .usingClass("org.modeshape.sequencer.zip.ZipSequencer")

      .loadedFromClasspath()

      .setDescription("Sequences compressed files to extract the internal file and folder structure")

      .sequencingFrom("//(*.(zip|gz|jar|war|ear)[*])/jcr:content[@jcr:data]")

      .andOutputtingTo("/zips/$1");
