Re: gwt 2.5/PrecompressLinker useless with tomcat/jboss?

The easiest solution is using tomcat8, see https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/default-servlet.html#change

If a gzipped version of a file exists (a file with .gz appended to the file name located alongside the original file), Tomcat will serve the gzipped file if the user agent supports gzip and this option is enabled. [false]

Hi all,
I've been trying to utilize http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/PrecompressLinker, but for (I'm assuming) the common usecase of deploying to Tomcat, or to Jboss, this seems useless/no value.

With tomcat, only configuration I could find was to modify server.xml with Connector ...compression="on" .. configurations which RE-compresses (instead of using pre-compressed) outgoing content, seemingly on the fly for every request. Jboss seems to have similar challenges.

Has anyone had success where using the GWT PrecompressLinker provided value to Tomcat environments (opposed to jetty)?  I know this isn't a direct GWT question, but having a cool feature and being unable to use it leads one wanting... :-)
