What compression library works with GAE

With GAE we can't pick just about any java compression library that works with GAE out-of-the-box, even this Snappy (which I tried because it was said that its a port of Google's compression lib) library won't work, throwing access denied ("java.io.FilePermission") exception. Which is expected since File I/O is not supported.

So I'd like to ask the community for Java compression libraries that are tested to work with GAE without hacking or repackaging.

Checking class whitelist you could use java.util.zip to read compressed streams

new java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream(inputStream)

and

new java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream(outputStream)

to compress content to an output stream.
