Heh, my reading comprehension skills are failing. JSP 1.2 requires J2SE 1.2 and JSP 2.0 requires J2SE 1.3.
Just to clarify Option #2, we're talking about taking the source code for org.apache.commons.collections.map.LRUMap, changing its package, and resolving all its dependencies by doing the same thing with the source code for those classes and interfaces, right? If so, that seems reasonable. It would be nice to be able to script that somehow... In addition to the use of LRUMap, did anyone want to offer an opinion on exposing a mechanism to configure the cache size (setting cache size = 0 would effectively bypass caching)? Personally, I think it's a good idea. In keeping with the mechanics of the Config class, how about defining a servlet context init param? Something like: <context-param> <param-name>org.apache.taglibs.standard.lang.jstl.exprCacheSize</param-name> <param-value>100</param-value> </context-param> Any thoughts on using different caching strategies? How about leveraging reference objects (SoftReference might be appropriate)?
