Some resources that you can use:
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwik... is the proper way of creating caches. You declare an @Inject dependency on that, then use the createNewCache method (if you don't plan on running a cluster, or don't think that the cached resources should be shared inside a cluster, then it's slightly better for performance to call createNewLocalCache). You can then use this cache to store some entries.
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-commons/blob/master/xwiki-commons-core/xwiki-... is going to give you the location of the temporary storage directory. Combine this with https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwik... and you have a nice way of serving image files stored on the disk to the HTTP client. Unfortunately, this way you have to implement your own LRU functionality and make sure you clean up files, otherwise you'll keep filling up the disk with temporary files.
That's brilliant - thanks for those, I'll go and do some reading now. Paul.
