I'm new to Java and trying to understand how dictionary in compression works.
public void setDictionary(byte[] b, int off, int len)
Can Anyone give me an example of how to use this method?

The "dictionary" you mentioned is not specific to Java itself, but is part of the DEFLATE compression algorithm. You can find a lot of references on the Internet describing the algorithm; Wikipedia is a good starting point.
