GZIP compression to a byte array

Question

I am trying to write a class that can compress data. The below code fails (no exception is thrown, but the target .gz file is empty.)
Besides: I don\'t want to generate

I've improved JITHINRAJ's code - used try-with-resources:

private static byte[] gzipCompress(byte[] uncompressedData) {
        byte[] result = new byte[]{};
        try (ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(uncompressedData.length);
             GZIPOutputStream gzipOS = new GZIPOutputStream(bos)) {
            gzipOS.write(uncompressedData);
            // You need to close it before using bos
            gzipOS.close();
            result = bos.toByteArray();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return result;
    }

private static byte[] gzipUncompress(byte[] compressedData) {
        byte[] result = new byte[]{};
        try (ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(compressedData);
             ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
             GZIPInputStream gzipIS = new GZIPInputStream(bis)) {
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int len;
            while ((len = gzipIS.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                bos.write(buffer, 0, len);
            }
            result = bos.toByteArray();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return result;
    }
