Solution

  • You have confused content encoding (gzip, deflate) with page (aka character) encoding (ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, etc.).

    In order to enable gzip compression on Apache Tomcat, you have to do it at the <Connector> level -- and only HTTP connectors are supported. See the compressableMimeType, compression, and compressionMinSize attributes for <Connector> in the Apache Tomcat HTTP Connector Configuration Reference
