The easiest way is to subclass HttpServletResponseWrapper. Override the methods 'getOutputStream' and 'getWriter()' (not sure getWriter is really used by static content serving, so you may not have to code something there). Basically, make a ByteArrayOutputStream as the result of getOutputStream, and have the writer use that stream.
After calling chain, response is buffered in byteArrayOutputStream, you can chunk/zip it as you want and write result to real outputStream. /*add headers*/ myResponse = new MyHttpServletResponseWrapper(response); chain.doFilter(myResponse,request); sendAsChunkOrZipOrWhatever(response.getOutputStream(),myResponse.getByteArrayOutputStream().toByteArray()); return; also, look here http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/http.html for the 'compression' attributes of http connector.
