Tomcat 4 Compression Filter

There is a CompressionFilter class shipped with with Tomcat which compresses the ServletResponse that I'm considering using (we have some remote offices which have slow links):

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes/compressionFilters/CompressionFilter.java?rev=1.8&view=auto

It looks OK to me and seems to work fine when I plug it into my app.

I'm a bit concerned that its only an "example" class rather than standard feature of Tomcat. 

Has anyone used this in a 'live' environment and if so are there any issues or with it or recommendations?

Does anyone have any alternatives that they have deployed?

put apache in front of tomcat and install mod_gzip with apache.
it will do almost everything you can wish for?
