Using GZIP Compressed Static Content

Question

I would like to have all of the Static Content (HTML, JS, CSS) compressed in advance to improve performance. I already have a compression filter for use on Dynamic Content.
We have managed to compress all of the static stuff using the GZIP format. Currently we have the files following the naming convention of appending ".gz" to the end of each file as in "MyPage.html" becomes "MyPage.html.gz" in the WAR file.
I was expecting that WebLogic would recognize this convention and automatically serve the appropriate file when the request came in. This doesn't seem to be happening:(
Is there a configuration mechanism to make this work, or a different convention for handling this problem?

Your idea should work, so let's walk through it:
1. Create a new Cocoa Application project
2. Create a new Objective-C class called "AppController"
3. Place the following code in the header file:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
@interface AppController : NSObject {
IBOutlet NSPopUpButton *popupButton;
@end
4.Place the following code in the implementation file (beware of curly quotes if you cut and paste):
#import "AppController.h"
@implementation AppController
- (void)awakeFromNib
[popupButton removeAllItems];// necessary to remove "Item 1", etc
[popupButton addItemWithTitle:@"Test 1"];
[popupButton addItemWithTitle:@"Test 2"];
[popupButton addItemWithTitle:@"Test 3"];
[popupButton addItemWithTitle:@"Test 4"];
@end
4. Save, and open the nib file in Interface Builder
5. Drag an "Object" blue cube into the little Finder window, click on it, navigate to its Identity panel on the inspector, and set its class to "AppController"
6. Open the Window, which should be blank, and drag in an instance of "Pop Up Button"
7. To make the menu items from the AppController class appear in the popup menu, do the following:
Control-click on the AppController object and drag a blue line up to the Pop Up Button in the Window.
8. Save, build, and run.
That should be enough to at least get the menu items to appear in the popup menu.
