Previous version(s) of JBoss AS allowed compressing of user application data that gets passed along and returned during EJB invocations. Users have requested that a similar feature be made available for remote EJB invocations against AS7.x

The requirement is ask follows:

1) User applications would mark certain EJB business methods to indicate that the data being passed to that method and/or the data being returned by that method would have to be compressed during a EJB remote invocation.

2) The compressed data is expected to be decompressed on the other end and passed onto the caller or the bean, depending on the direction of the flow.
