ADF applications can use compression?

Question

Hi all,
I'm using ADF Faces, Jdeveloper 11g and weblogic 10.3
I'm trying to reduce the time and the height of the files served to clients and I have added the GZIPFilter into my web.xml and it's library, but it seems that doesn't work.
I've followed the steps specified in
http://www.eisele.net/blog/2009/02/using-html-and-http-compression-with.html
It's because I'm doing something wrong? or maybe this filter doesn't work for ADF Fusion webs?
I've this code in web.xml
<filter>
<filter-name>GZIPFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>weblogicx.servlet.gzip.filter.GZIPFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>GZIPFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*.js</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>GZIPFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*.jspx</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>GZIPFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*.css</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Thanks in advance, any help will be appreciated,
Xavi.

Hi all,
finally, I've solved the problems with the compression.
To achieve it, and make the filter work well, just delete the slashes in the url-pattern node:
<filter>
<filter-name>GZIPFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>weblogicx.servlet.gzip.filter.GZIPFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>GZIPFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.js</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>GZIPFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>GZIPFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.css</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Hope it will be helpfull for everybody
Xavi.
