Extracting Tomcat Zip SOMETIMES fail with IOException: Negative seek offset

Ralph picture Ralph · Jul 19, 2011 · Viewed 10.1k times · Source

I am using maven cargo with its zip url installer feature to download a tomcat for my integration tests. This works fine on my computer, but when its run in husdon it fails sometimes (round about 10-20%).

The failure is:

And this is the relevant part of my pom.

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
  <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.5</version>
  <configuration>
     <container>
         <zipUrlInstaller>
    <url>http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.32/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.32.zip</url>
          <zipUrlInstaller>
          .... 
     </container>
     ...
   <configuration>
</plugin>

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?

Usually it's due to a bad download (the odd corrupted packet etc). Try using an MD5 / SHA-1 checksum to validate the archive before using it.

Also be careful that the offset variable is large enough to hold the require value of your seek.
