Compression in the server.xml
Could some one explain the downsides of setting compression="on" in the
server.xml
I have a web app that averages 2 million hits aday.
The static and images are handled using apache.
I am trying to understand what the compression setting is used for in the
server.xml and what are the ramifications.
I found out about the setting reading "
http://brandlay.com/wojtek/publ/tomcat.jsp " that was on the list earlier
today.
any bandwidth I can save would be great
Thanks for the patience
Randy

Indeed. Integration will improve, though (the Apache/Tomcat connector
will be bundled in Apache and will be compatible with all the other
module combination (such as cache + ssl + gzip).

Do you think that there will be a merging of Tomcat and Apache in the
future?
Random speculation appreciated.

Compression is useless if you use apache in front of tomcat.
Look into mod_gzip and make sure the option for zipping chunked data in
mod_gzip is turned on.
