Using Java Deflater / Inflater with a custom dictionary raises IllegalArgumentException

The following code is based on the example provided in javadocs for java.util.zip.Deflater . The only changes I made were to create an array of bytes called dict, and then install the dictionary for both Deflater instances and Inflater using the setDictionary (byte []) method.

The problem I see is that when I call Inflater.setDictionary () with the same array as for Deflater, I get an IllegalArgumentException.

Here is the code in question:

import java.util.zip.Deflater;
import java.util.zip.Inflater;

public class DeflateWithDictionary {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String inputString = "blahblahblahblahblah??";
        byte[] input = inputString.getBytes("UTF-8");
        byte[] dict = "blah".getBytes("UTF-8");

        // Compress the bytes
        byte[] output = new byte[100];
        Deflater compresser = new Deflater();
        compresser.setInput(input);
        compresser.setDictionary(dict);
        compresser.finish();
        int compressedDataLength = compresser.deflate(output);

        // Decompress the bytes
        Inflater decompresser = new Inflater();
        decompresser.setInput(output, 0, compressedDataLength);
        decompresser.setDictionary(dict);  //IllegalArgumentExeption thrown here
        byte[] result = new byte[100];
        int resultLength = decompresser.inflate(result);
        decompresser.end();

        // Decode the bytes into a String
        String outputString = new String(result, 0, resultLength, "UTF-8");
        System.out.println("Decompressed String: " + outputString);
    }
}

If I try to blow off the same compressed bytes without installing a dictionary, I will not get an error, but the result will be zero.
