Resource Accelerate is a J2EE web application filter that provides three significant performance enhancements to web applications that use CSS, JavaScript, and shared images in a simple, easy to use package. You can download and discuss Resource Accelerate at the SourceForge project .

• 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.

Together these performance enhancements can provide a signficant performance improvement to web sites and applications. While these enhancements can be achieved in various other ways, Resource Accelerate provides a well optimized simple package to achieve quick performance increase in your Tomcat or other J2EE application server. You can simply add the filters and your resources will be delivered with proper caching directives and compression without having to deal with builds.
