This RFE is not in the 1.1 plan, but if a nice contribution comes in, it could make its way into it ;-) > (3) Since I need this pretty soon, what advice do people have > about the best way > to hand-roll my own client-side caching?

There are many existing open source caching solutions that you could leverage: http://www.java-source.net/open-source/cache-solutions Best regards, Jerome
