Yes the CacheFilter needs to be added. The fastest way is to edit
"http-server.props" and put the following lines:
org.w3c.www.protocol.http.filters=org.w3c.www.protocol.http.cache.CacheFilter
org.w3c.www.protocol.http.cache.size=<what you want in bytes>
org.w3c.www.protocol.http.proxy.debug=false
...
See
