While you await an answer to that, are you aware that you can at least mimic
CF's variable-based query caching by assigning q query resultset to a
persistent scope (such as session or application)?

I suppose you're referring to the CACHEDWITHIN and CACHEDAFTER attributes of
CFQUERY. I'm sure many readers here will not be aware of that, so it may
help to explain it so that they can offer JSP/servlet/tag library
alternatives. These attributes of CFQUERY (which is CF's way to pass to a
given datasource the SQL string to be processed) allow one to indicate that
if the given query has been cached within a given time span (using
CACHEDWITHIN) or as of a given date/time (with CACHEDAFTER), then the query
is not really executed against the datasource but is instead retrieve from a
cache automatically. It's nice (though it has its drawbacks).

What's particularly useful is that the mere addition of either of these
attributes to your query will cause CF to use the cache and manage its
refreshing for you. No need to test for the cache, or manage the timespans,
etc. It's handled for you.

In fact, another cool thing is that the cache is shared among all
applications (in effect, in what CF calls a "server" scope), such that if
two applications run the same query against the same datasource using the
same SQL (and any related parameters such as userid/password, etc) and they
both used one of these CACHED attributes, they will share the same cache.

Anyone know of a taglib that replicates CF's query caching ability?

This question gets asked a lot. Did you check the archives?
