Tomcat GzipOutputFilter
Hello,
I note there's a GzipOutputFilter in the Tomcat (and JBoss) jar files:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/api/org/apache/coyote/http11/filters/GzipOutputFilter.html
Yet I can't load it in the web.xml file using <filter-class>. Is there
some pre-defined filter name for this filter?
John

Surely you want to be doing that at the HTTPD edge?
mod_deflate would do the job and requires minimal configuration.

Typical deployment setup for AJP connector is to pass requests via
processes on the same machine, or at least in the same network segment.
So there's no need to compress such traffic.
You want compression to limit bytes sent to remote clients, over WAN
connection.

The AJP connector doesn't support compression (a missing useful feature
in my opinion) so I found myself looking for a filter. Thanks for
letting me know it won't work. I'll look at the example filter.

This class does not implement the javax.servlet.Filter interface and
thus it cannot be used in a web application.
It is just an internal component of HTTP connectors, that is used when
you enable gzip compression on the connector,
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html
There is "compressionFilters.CompressionFilter" class in the examples
webapp though, that can be used as a Filter.
