    Description

      In a high concurrency load test with Apache MyFaces + RichFaces component library we found that under peak load majority of our web container threads were stuck in this call stack

      After looking at the src code of org.apache.myfaces.application.ResourceHandlerImpl.handleResourceRequest(FacesContext) I can see that the ResourceHandlerCache caches the Resource metadata ; however the actual output of the resource which is written to the outputstream in ResourceHandlerImpl.pipeBytes is NEVER cached.

      This causes a scalability problem in our case because each access to the resource involves cracking open a jar, inflating the bytes and parsing a stream of bytes. This is done multiple times for the same resource(say a css file) inside the richfaces jar inspite of the resource not changing.

      I propose a much needed performance optimization wherein we cache the output of the Resource handled and stash the output byte[] it as softReference in the ResourceHandlerCache.ResourceValue.
