You can delegate this task to your container by using HTTP gzip compression. E.g. Tomcat can compress the content for you (search for "compression" on this page) :

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html

Other servers can too... The Java client should just pick it up automatically:

It's too bad we can't extend DispatchHelper. If we could I could define a new message called BootstrapZiped and send the client entity resolver in a compressed format over the wire and then sub class ClientChannel to send a BootstrapZiped message within getEntityResolver. It should not be
difficult to extend DispatchHelper so that we can register our own
callbacks and client messages. I wrote a quick and dirty simple example
below if you want to use it:

// Interface that must be implemented when creating a dispatch helper
callback extension
interface DispatchHelperCallback {

   public Object dispatch(DataChannel channel, ClientMessage message);
}

class DispatchHelper {

   private static ConcurrentHashMap<Class, DispatchHelperCallback>
registeredCallbacks = new ConcurrentHashMap<Class, Class>();

   // Register user defined dispatch helper extensions
   static void registerDispatchHelperCallback(Class messageClass,
DispatchHelperCallback callback) {
       DispatchHelper.registeredCallbacks.put(messageClass, callback);
   }

static Object dispatch(DataChannel channel, ClientMessage message) {
       // do most common messages first...
       if (message instanceof QueryMessage) {
           return channel.onQuery(null, ((QueryMessage)
message).getQuery());
       }
       else if (message instanceof SyncMessage) {
           SyncMessage sync = (SyncMessage) message;
           return channel.onSync(null, sync.getSenderChanges(),
sync.getType());
       }
       else if (message instanceof BootstrapMessage) {
           return
channel.getEntityResolver().getClientEntityResolver();
       }
       // check to see if we have a callback for this message and fire
it if we do.
       else
if (DispatchHelper.registeredCallbacks.containsKey(message.getClass()) {
           return
DispatchHelper .registeredCallbacks.get(message.getClass()).dispatch(chan
nel, message);
       }
       else {
           throw new CayenneRuntimeException(
                   "Message dispatch error. Unsupported message: " +
message);
       }
   }
}

Subject: Re: Initial ROP client query takes way to long

Correct - the first ROP access causes client to load all the mapping
metadata from the server. I guess the sheer # of tables in your schema
causes such a delay. To avoid slow bootstrap theoretically it should
be possible to persist the mapping on the client with some coding
effort, however this ability does not exist in Cayenne as of now.

Another thing is to make sure that the server is "warmed up" when the
first client connects, as the server overhead of loading mapping for
121000 entities and then converting them to client counterparts may be
noticeable. So maybe call something like this on server startup:

getDomain().getEntityResolver().getClientEntityResolver()

Here is the scenario ... We have a database with over 121,000 tables
mapped in cayenne running under an out of the box ROP client server
model. After the client creates the connection, it authenticates the
user by querying the user table (that table only currently has about 6
rows in it). The initial query always takes about 30 seconds and then
everything is fine on subsequent queries. I am wondering if
something is
going on with the first ROP client query. Is the client trying to
cache
the server's entity resolver data set?? Or is it something else? Is
there any way to speed up the initial client query?
