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
