You also need GZIPOutputStream. You can get it by
OutputStream out = new GZIPOutputStream(res.getOutputStream());
Then you can send it with ServletUtils class in Oreilly's servlet com package from www.servlets.com.
try{
ServletUtils.returnFile(file, out);
//file being the path to the specified file
}
catch(FileNotFoundException e){
throw new ServletException("No such file");
}
catch(IOException e){
throw new ServletException("Problem sending file...");
}
