Does anyone know of a small proxy cache for clients written in java?

The following restlet issue has some very useful pointers on the subject

So what I am looking for according to http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/


There are a number of open source caching libraries

It is interesting to see how Mozilla does things:

though a more up to date version would be nice.

P.S.


cached representations when the network is down.

is either a proxy cache or a browser cache. (Searching for "browser cache java" on Google is a hopeless exercise.) but these seem designed for object caching, not client side HTTP caching. Perhaps one of them could be useful for building such a client side cache... The restlet issue has more interesting pointers, no need to duplicate them here. Conclusion: I have not yet found a ready made browser cache library for Java, but I have good pointers. On the same subject, I have often wondered if there was a good cache one could use for presentations. It would be nice to be able to have a local cache in case the network goes down, that would return only
