Kevin-
To use CompressionFilter you
1)override doFilter method to provide filtering response via previously defined
'FilterChain'
2)wrap your regular response as a CompressionServletResponse before sending
back to client (as in this example from Kief Morris)
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request
ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
chain.doFilter(request, response);
long stopTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("Time to execute request: " + (stopTime - startTime)
+
" milliseconds");
}
Later on in the service() doGet() or doPut() methods check the response to
build the appropriate CompressionServletResponseWrapper
if (response instanceof HttpServletResponse) {
CompressionServletResponseWrapper wrappedResponse =
new
CompressionServletResponseWrapper((HttpServletResponse)response);
wrappedResponse.setCompressionThreshold(compressionThreshold);
if (debug > 0) {
System.out.println("doFilter gets called with compression");
}
}
Make SURE the actual class (which is displayed from your web.xml)
is on your classpath or your class is located in
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/NameOfYourWebApp/WEB-INF/classes)
The example $TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\servlets-examples\WEB-INF\web.xml displays
<filter>
<filter-name>Compression Filter</filter-name>
<filter-class>compressionFilters.CompressionFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

Subject: Help please
I've just downloaded Tomcat 5.5.17 and am trying to run it on our mainframe
system that is running z/OS 1.7 operating system. I am getting a failure in
Tomcat that says:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: compressionFilters.CompressionFilter
Does anyone know what is causing this, and what I can do to correct it?
