Can somebody tell me what configuration parameter I need to set to get
rid
of page not refreshing.
I have a png image a.png . When I browse from IE it shows me the image
properly. Now I put a different image but with the same name a.png.
Event if I press the browser refresh button , it still does not refresh
the
image.

The problem you describe is on a per-browser-per-user-basis, so they
will not work effectively.
In IE for example, you can set the caching through the menu Tools ->
Internet Options -> General and under 'Temporary Internet Files', click
Settings, then under 'Check for newer versions of stored pages content',
select 'Every visit to the page'. Also you can set the number of
megabytes to use for caching to 1Mb.
As said, this totally leaves you up to the visitor's browser settings.
Other suggested options are to add a number of meta-tags or
response-headers like 'Expires', 'Cache-Control',
'Pragma->No-Cache->No-Store', 'Cache-Control->pre-check->post-check' to
your pages.
However, the interpretation of these things, *again* differs per browser
implementation per user and per HTTP protocol version these things were
originally designed for.
This has nothing to do with Tomcat or any other webserver.
Some of the meta-tags and response-headers mentioned above even have an
unreliable effect on the browsers 'Back'-button and on search-engines.
The most reliable way I have found is to simply take Maarten Janssens's
advice:
<img src="mypicture.jpg?ms=1130901624937">
or even:
<img src="mypicture.jpg?1130901624937">
Where the value '1130901624937' is the current time in milliseconds.
Maybe you didn't understand his reply and you thought something like:
<img src="1130901624937.jpg">
This would indeed leave you with strange duplicate files. The trick is
to use the time as a parameter appended to the filename, so you can keep
the name your original image.
