I was hoping to be able to do this witho

Answer 1

In addition to @pstanton post here is an example of code. I solved the problem using the following code. It was difficult to understand what the previous answer without an example.

//If you just want the first file in the zipped InputStream use this code. 
//Otherwise loop through the InputStream using getNextEntry()
//till you find the file you want.
private InputStream convertToInputStream(InputStream stream) throws IOException {
    ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(stream);
    zis.getNextEntry();
    return zis;
} 

Using this code you can return an InputStream of the file that is zipped.
