String compression

[Kruzer]

What Java class would be the "best" for compressing strings? I'm writting an app were I'm sending xml messages from one app to another (I'm new to JMS) and I'd like to try compressing the message further. Any suggestions?

public class SaveEmployee {
public static void main(String argv[]) throws
Exception {
// create some objects
Employee sarah = new Employee("S. Jordan", 28,
56000);
Employee sam = new Employee("S. McDonald", 29,
58000);
// serialize the objects sarah and sam
FileOutputStream fos = new
FileOutputStream("db"
GZIPOutputStream gz = new GZIPOutputStream(fos);
ObjectOutputStream oos = new
ObjectOutputStream(gz);
oos.writeObject(sarah);
oos.writeObject(sam);
oos.flush();
oos.close();
fos.close();
}
}
