Can we compress a large file as a chunk data for GZIP in blackberry?

I saw the sample APIas below

public static byte[] compress( byte[] data )
{   
    try
    {
        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        GZIPOutputStream gzipStream = new GZIPOutputStream( baos, 6, GZIPOutputStream.MAX_LOG2_WINDOW_LENGTH );
        gzipStream.write( data );
        gzipStream.close();
    }
    catch(IOException ioe)
    {
        return null;
    }

    return baos.toByteArray();
} 

But when I tried to compress with a large file with Curve 8900 OS 4.6, I got a "OutOfMemoryError" so I would like to know that how to compress as a chunk small data?

I already tried with this code as below but it doesn't work, compressed file cannot decompress...

file = (FileConnection)Connector.open(_fileOutputPath, Connector.READ_WRITE);
            if (!file.exists()) {
                file.create();
            }
            os = file.openOutputStream();
            is = FileUtil.getInputStream(_fileInputPath, 0);
            int tmpSize = 1024;           
            byte[] tmp = new byte[tmpSize];
            int len = -1;
            gzipStream = new GZIPOutputStream( os, 6, GZIPOutput开发者_开发知识库Stream.MAX_LOG2_WINDOW_LENGTH );
            while((len = is.read(tmp, 0, tmpSize)) != -1) {
                gzipStream.write(tmp, 0, len);
            }

GZIPOutputStream does not produce a file suitable for use with the gzip command line tool. This is because it doesn't produce the necessary file headers. How did you test decompressing it? You should write a similar Java program that makes use of GZIPInputStream to test, as 'gunzip' is not going to recognize the input.

The problem of the first code sample is that the ByteArrayOutputStream is getting too big for the limited memory of a mobile device.

An option could be to first write to a file (for instance) on SD card.

The second code sample seems fine, but see Michael's answer.
