Thanks Tim. We are using ICSharpCode (http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/) for end-to-end compression between C#/Java clients using TIBCO EMS.
In any case, does the native ActiveMQ compression provide end-to-end compression between C#/Java clients? If not, how do we get C#/Java clients to exchange compressed messages?
