@ratna - Not sure exactly why this error coming but check if the entry that is being added by zos.putNextEntry(entry) contains $ symbol (In filename or in file content) or any other special character. It seems that the putNextEntry() method is failing due to this. In case if it is, try to escape it as \$.

Hi, I need your help.
I used the same method to create zip file, It was working fine, but after the zip files size reached 226.344 KB, it will throw exception “java.lang.IllegalArgumentException”
The problem is in this line zos.putNextEntry(entry)

Thanks a lot
