[OpenMap Users] Load Shapefiles from a jarfile?

Is it possible to load shapefiles directly out of a jarfile?

I'm using a ShapeLayer, and setting the "shapeFile" property to the path.

I've tried a variety of combinations. For what it's worth, my data
are a shapefile for every zip code in the US, inside of a "Zips" directory.

// This is the one I'm currently using
String fileNamePrefix = "Zips/" + zip;

So then I just zipped it up, with the "Zips/" prefix inside the zipfile,
to "Zips.jar"

// Neither of these have worked:
String fileNamePrefix = "jar:file:Zips.jar!/Zips/" + zip;
String fileNamePrefix = "jar:Zips.jar!/Zips/" + zip;

Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Cheers,
Gary
