Are we there yet? Resin 4 Java EE 6 Web Profile!
Caucho® is well on the way to being Java EE 6 Web Profile certified. As of this month, we have passed all Web Profile TCKs with the exception of EJB 3.1 Lite. We aim to pass this last TCK by the end of 2010 or very early 2011. We are extremely excited to be a leader in the Java EE 6 ecosystem with Web Profile and JMS for lightweight messaging. Other Web Profile candidates in line for Java EE 6 version compatibility include JBoss, Geronimo, WebLogic and WebSphere (in no particular order).
After achieving this momentous goal, Caucho® will continue to strengthen the performance and reliability of Resin. Future releases will hone in on optimization, startup/shut-down time, runtime performance as well as further advancing the stability of Resin.

Significantly improve application performance with Resin HTTP Proxy Server
The majority of content for web applications cannot be cached effectively due to data changes in real-time and is highly personalized to a user or session. However there are significant parts of an application that is static and can be cached such as images, browser scripts and style-sheets. There is also some dynamically generated content that only changes occasionally. Taking advantage of Resin’s HTTP proxy caching capability makes a lot of sense for these cases and can significantly improve application performance.
In case of static content, Resin automatically sets HTTP caching headers that a browser or third-party proxy server can use. In the case of dynamically generated content, it is possible to set appropriate HTTP caching headers programmatically. For example, in the following code snippet we are specifying that the Servlet content can be cached for 15 seconds:
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
…
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
…
response.setHeader(“Cache-Control”, “max-age=15″);
… Generate content to be cached …
}
}
In addition to setting HTTP caching headers, Resin itself can also act as an HTTP proxy cache. This is particularly useful in a clustered environment where the Resin web tier does load balancing as well as proxy caching while the Resin application tier generates dynamic content. Proxy caching is enabled using the <cache> tag as follows:
<resin xmlns=”http://caucho.com/ns/resin”>
<cluster id=”web-tier”>
<cache entries=”16384″ disk-size=”2G” memory-size=”256M”/>
<server id=”a” address=”192.168.0.10″/>
<host host-name=”www.foo.com”>
</cluster>
</resin>
It is also possible to explicitly set the expiration for static content using the <cache-mapping> tag. For example, in the following snippet we are setting gif images to expire every 24 hours:
<web-app xmlns=”http://caucho.com/ns/resin”>
<cache-mapping url-pattern=’*.gif’ expires=’24h’/>
</web-app>
Resin HTTP proxy cache can improve the performance for many web applications especially during periods of heavy site traffic. Get better user experience with Resin HTTP proxy cache.
