It is possible to set cachingAllowed="false" on the <Context /> element to prevent Tomcat from caching, but except in extreme cases it is usually useless because of a short TTL (5sec by default). See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html for more details on Tomcat caching options. Otherwise, you have to roll your own Filter that will set the caching headers (Expires, Cache-Control, Pragma, etc) to control proxy server caching. Tomcat doesn't provide anything out-of-the-box to do this sort of thing. > With Apache's mod_expire you can set specific file types to not be cached. > This is claimed to be great for proxy servers. > > > > e.g. > > > > ExpiresActive On > > ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000 > > ExpiresByType image/png A2592000 > > ExpiresByType image/jpg A2592000 > > ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000 > > ExpiresByType application/x-javascript A2592000 > > ExpiresByType application/x-Shockwave-Flash A2592000 > > > is there an equivalent method for tomcat? > > Thanks in advance > -Steve > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
