Sure, you can do that. It just won't do what you expect it to.

Try enabling gzip compression in the <Connector>.

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html#Standard%20Implementation

Look for the "compression" attribute. You'll probably have to change the
compressablemimeType setting from the default to include text/css.

I don't think there's a way to trick Tomcat into using a pre-compressed
image of a file in this way.

Alternatively, you could probably do something like the following:
create a servlet that does nothing but serve a file off the disk (you
might even extend the DefaultServlet). Make sure that your servlet reads
your gzip'd CSS file and serves it without modification, except to add a
"Content-Encoding" header.

Remember to ensure that the client has "Accept-Encoding: gzip" set in
the request headers... otherwise you will be serving a file that the
browser claims it can't read.

Good luck,
