One year and little bit more I was gzipping Spring remoting requests and responses. Now is time to gzip web application

The simplest solution is to use filter in your web.xml. I found implementation in ehcache called net.sf.ehcache.constructs.web.filter.GzipFilter

<filter>
 <filter-name>gzip</filter-name>
 <filter-class>net.sf.ehcache.constructs.web.filter.GzipFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
 <filter-name>gzip</filter-name>
 <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
