RE: Resin 2.1.0/2.1.4 and mod_gzip

I have this problem too. I would prefer to use mod_gzip, as the apache
modules incorporate memory compression so files that don't change are
served from memory rather than recompressed, its a lot more efficient
than using a servletfilter for example.
Why is resin bypassing the regular output stream that mod_gzip is
compressing?

A relatively quick workaround is to do the gzip yourself. Java uses
zlib so it's fast enough....
