Often you're serving big chunks of static content with a little bit of dynamic content sprinkled in.

You can effectively concatenate stuff by just writing both to the same channel - which means you can get the zero-copy performance benefits for the static parts of your data if you know exactly how much static data there is before you need to write out something dynamic.

But how could we use this in a servlet container environment? Perhaps we'd wrap the response with a special wrapper to take advantage of this? I'm not sure.

I can see the use if one would recreate a server from the ground up. But that would be a rather large task.

Tomcat has supported zero-copy file transfers for years -- since before this article was written, in fact.
