GZIP Compression Fails with Richfaces-3.3.3.CR1 release
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-8562
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-8562
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: browser compatibility, performance
    Affects Versions: 3.3.3.CR1
         Environment: Seam 2.2.0, JSF 1.2, Tomcat 6.0, IE8/Mozilla 3.6.2/Chrome 4.1.249, EHCache 1.5.0
            Reporter: Gaurav Saini
            Priority: Critical


In my application i have implemented EHCache GZip compression. It is working perfectly with richfaces-ui-3.3.2.SR1 release. 

But once i moved to latest 3.3.3 CR1 release, it stopped working for all AJAX requests fired from my application screens.   The ajax requests reached properly in my action/action listener methods but while on completion of ajax request, only the components which are specified in re-render attribute are rendered on the browser. 

The above issue occurs on Mozilla and Goggle Chrome only. Under Mozilla, the JS of component being re-rendered is printed, on Google chrome only that component is displayed, all other fields, header, footer

I have used gzipfilter as follows:

         <filter>
		<filter-name>gzipFilter</filter-name>
		<filter-class>net.sf.ehcache.constructs.web.filter.GzipFilter</filter-class>
	</filter>
	<filter-mapping>
		<filter-name>gzipFilter</filter-name>
		<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
	</filter-mapping>

For reference, refer below code. Here in this case I have Calendar control. On date selection an ajax request is fired to compute a date 15 days earlier from the selected date. The computed date is then displayed in another Calendar control field (Expiry Reminder Date).

<rich:calendar id="expirationDate" cellWidth="24px"
						datePattern="#{messages['label.date.PATTERN']}" cellHeight="22px"
						style="width:200px"
						value="#{certificateDetailsDTO.expirationDate}" required="true"
						label="#{messages['label.certificatedetails.EXPIRATION_DATE']}" >
						<a:support
							actionListener="#{certificateBackingBeanImpl.populateExpiryReminderDate}"
							event="onchanged" ajaxSingle="true" reRender="expiryReminderDate" >
							<f:attribute name="expRemCmp" value="mainForm:expiryReminderDateDecId:expiryReminderDate"> 
							</f:attribute>
					 </a:support>

But as i said earlier, under chrome only the expiryReminderDate calendar control is dispalyed and under Mozilla the plain JS for that control is rendered. 

For the time being i have reverted to 3.3.2 SR1, but i need to migrate to 3.3.3CR1 because of the fixes provided in that release related to ExtendedDataTable.
