Well after many years of thinking about it, it didn't take long to implement, below is a configuration file entry for deflate compression.   Performance impact is no noticeable I'm not getting any hotspot's for compression / decompression.   It would probably make sense for a registrar, but not so much for a service that doesn't return a large number of results or is unlikely to receive large parameters.

Cheers,

Peter.

Hello River folk,

A couple of years or so ago I was working on using Pack200 for compression of proxy codebases, then it was deprecated and more recently removed from Java 14.

Initially I took pack 200 from Harmony and started working on that, at the time I thought the JDK version was written in C.  But then it turned out there was a java version of Pack200 in the openJDK.

I haven't focused on this recently, however I registered the pack200.net domain, so that I could release on Maven Central.  The OpenJDK version supports Java 8, while the Harmony version is Java 5.   It also seem that not a lot of work is required to get this up to date for the latest bytecode.

The other thing I've long considered using is deflate, gzip or zip compression of marshalled streams.   This is actually very easy to code up into a JERI InvocationLayerFactory implementation, however I've had other priorities and never gotten around to.

I wanted to determine whether there is interest in improving performance using compression?

Regards,

Peter.
