The question is whether that is useful. One can add a SQUID reverse
proxy before the original JAX-RS resource, so if max-age is high enough
this will move a big load from the resource to the proxy. Also, I see
the job of caching to be not JAX-RS specific -- if it is implemented,
then it should be implemented in the surrounding driver (GlassFish),
shouldn't it? I mean, in that case it would boost non-JAX-RS resources, too.
