How to make resource pooling in Java?

I have to maintain an app that create often resources and use them a very short time. So, most of the (precious user) time is spent in creating resources rather than actually using them.

I'd like to put those resources into a pool for grabbing them faster. I'm looking for a Java API that would permit me to do resource pooling (ie generic object pooling). I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

I have found Apache Commons Pool for doing so in a Java application quite easily (as I have read the sample code so far).

After googling, it seems hard to find any other except the well known C3PO, Proxool etc. Those latest do Connection pooling !

Do you know other APIs on the market that address the same need ?

Requirements :

  • Production ready
  • Well documented
  • Lastest release should not be more than two years old
  • Open/Close Source accepted
  • Free/Paid Licence accepted
  • Available in a Maven repository
Solution

  • So far, I come up with those two libraries.
