The response wrapper approach is historically how such transformations were
done.  However it is a lot of boilerplate code, very easy to get wrong and
fails completely if the async IO API is used.

So another approach to consider is to use the jetty API for interceptors
(see GzipHandler for an example) that will work with any content source.
 Ultimately I'd like to propose a standards based approach for this in
Servlet-5.x, but it will be a while before such new features can be
considered because of the distraction of renaming everything to
jakarta.servlet.*

cheers
