There is a just-barely-started effort within the Jakarta Commons project
to create a package of nice, reusable, Filters. Caching is one of the use
cases (and it will need more than one implementation, because different
applications will have different requirements), but no code has been
submitted yet.
This will be discussed on the COMMONS-DEV mailing list -- see
<http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html> for subscription information.
For compression, there's an output filter that does this for you included
in the example app of Tomcat 4. You can rip it out and use it in your own
applications as well. (Yes, this is going to be contributed to the
Commons package once it's up and running :-).
