A file is nothing but an array of bytes. What do you need to actually do? You can save it somewhere by using a FileOutputStream, for example. You can use a ZipInputStream (with a ByteArrayInputStream) to read the entries directly in Java... So, what do you want to actually do?

You can write a byte array via the FileOutputStream's write method, which is the most basic way to do it. See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4350084/byte-to-file-in-java – Florian Schaetz Jul 20 '15 at 12:57
I tried this: but I can't open zip file FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(filename+".zip"); fos.write(byteArr); fos.close(); – Oleg Baranovsky Jul 20 '15 at 13:28

I found another solution for saving zip in geb without asking directory. I configured my GebConfig.groovy :

    profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",2)
    profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",false)
    profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", new File("").getAbsolutePath())
    profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","application/zip")
