This subsection describes the HTTP response compression functionality.

The HTTP response compression functionality compresses the HTTP responses for the HTTP requests to the servlets, JSPs, and static contents in the gzip format. By using this functionality to compress the HTTP responses, you can reduce the time required for communicating the HTTP responses between the Web container and Web client (browser).

This functionality is provided as a servlet filter that is embedded and runs in the Web application. This is called the HTTP response compression filter.

The following table describes the organization of this section.
