Neither behaviour is specified for this method, though it would be
compatible with Sun's implementation to return null.
If the ZipEntry is not for an entry in the current zip file you could also
throw an IOException - specifically FileNotFoundException. That would seem
more correct to me. Or even just a ZipException - also correct.
Returning null seems incorrect.
