Kris Zyp has released Resource Accelerate —a J2EE web application filter that provides three signficant performance enhancements to web applications that use CSS, JavaScript, and shared images in a simple, easy to use package.

• Caching Header Directives - this can significantly reduce the number of requests a browser needs to make for a web application when multiple pages share the same file resources.
• Gzip Compression - Resource Accelerate provides Gzip compression that can signficantly reduce the size of files that are transferred (often 60-80% for JS or CSS files).
• JavaScript Compression - Resource Accelerate can apply Dojo's ShrinkSafe JavaScript compression as well.
