Tue, 08/11/2009 - 14:59 — mareshkau

You can enable compression in Tomcat adding following lines to connector configuration in server.xml

         compression="on" 
         compressionMinSize="2048" 
         noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata" 
         compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml"

An example of connector configuration
    <Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
   			 	compression="on" 
	         	compressionMinSize="2048" 
               connectionTimeout="20000" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
               redirectPort="8444" />
