GZIPOS

GZIPOS is a library that offers GZIP functionality for Java servlets. It was inspired by the GZIP servlet filter described by Jayson Falkner in his excellent article Two servlet Filters Every Web Application Should Have. However, there was one problem with Jayson's solution: servlet filters are only available starting from servlet API version 2.3 (J2EE 1.3). So people that are still working with servlet API 2.2 (J2EE 1.2) are left in the cold. GZIPOS remedies this situation. It provides classes that allow GZIP compression of servlet responses for servlet API 2.2 or later.

Check the readme included in the distribution archive for exact usage details.
