Hey John,
Tomcat does not do any caching. Try adding these HTTP headers:
response.addHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); // HTTP/1.0
response.addHeader("Cache-control","no-cache, no-store"); // HTTP/1.1
That's the official way. However, due to an IE4-IE6 bug, you might want to
replace the second one by:
response.setHeader("Cache-control","max-age=0"); // HTTP/1.1
More info see: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=233446&start=0
Worked fine for me!
