Description

There are too many javascript and CSS files. The homepage downloads more than a dozen JS/CSS files. Even if the browser caches those resources, it always sends as many HTTP requests to check the cache validity.

There are two solutions to gzip the response :

add a servlet filter : http://www.thomas-bayer.com/gzip-compression-filter.htm or http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/11/19/filters.html

activate the apache mod_gzip module : http://www.netuality.ro/http-compression-filter-on-servlets-good-idea-wrong-layer/tools/20050202

Done with the PLJ compressing filter from sourceforge. It compresses all responses greater than 1000 bytes, except static resources (images, js, css) in the standalone mode.
