[Deploying Sakai] OAE UI Caching

[Andrew Petro]

Chuck,

Here's where the code lives:

https://source.jasig.org/resource-server/

Modern uPortal ships using it (i.e., not just the forthcoming uPortal 4 
-- this is in uPortal 3.2 e.g.), so it should be pretty feasible to try 
it out in action.

I think Jen Bourey knows more about this code than anyone.  She's out of 
reach on a well-deserved camping trip at this time, but you might reach 
out to her about it if interested.  Eric Dalquist should also be able to 
speak authoritatively to that code.

I think the intent is that this is freestanding, re-usable, 
not-uPortal-specific infrastructure.  As in, to the extent that simple 
variations are needed to make this work well in Sakai 2.9, may be worth 
hearing about and pushing back into the resource server "product".
