Question

I can\'t activate gzip-encoding in my Jersey service. This is what I\'ve tried:

Answer 1

You have to register the org.glassfish.jersey.server.filter.EncodingFilter as well. This example enables deflate and gzip compression:

import org.glassfish.jersey.message.DeflateEncoder;
import org.glassfish.jersey.message.GZipEncoder;
import org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig;
import org.glassfish.jersey.server.filter.EncodingFilter;
...
private void enableCompression(ResourceConfig rc) {
    rc.registerClasses(
            EncodingFilter.class,
            GZipEncoder.class,
            DeflateEncoder.class);
}

This solution is jersey specific and works not only with Grizzly, but with the JDK Http server as well.
