Hi,

If the accept-Encoding allows GZIP, than the JAX-RS runtime could decide
on its own, that it gzip the data. This it could do with all encodings,
that are allowe. So there is no additional annotation required.
Ot course the runtime must set the content-encoding header, if it encode
the data.
best regards
Stephan
