Hi! I'm sorry but OSCache is not that what I really need. I want to cache the full output of selected URLs not just JSP. Any Ideas?
I plan to build a web application with a CentralEntryServlet. This Servlet invokes some actions which depends on the given PathInfo. The actions are very extensive and return a ready OutputStream which then is printed out to the Client.
