Two Servlet Filters Every Web Application Should Have (O'Reilly)

Jayson Falkner explains servlet filters on O'Reilly. "Almost every single web application you will ever make will seriously benefit from using servlet filters to both cache and compress content. A caching filter optimizes the time it takes to send back a response from your web server, and a compression filter optimizes the size of the content that you send from your web server to a user via the Internet. Since generating content and sending content over the World Wide Web are the bread and butter of web applications, it should be no surprise that simple components that aid in these processes are incredibly useful."
