    Problem of „Back button“ or pages caching in „Mozilla

    dragan.mi

      I have a intranet application with JSF 1.2, Richfaces 3.2.0, Facelets, Hibernate 3.2.6, Java 1.5 Update 11 and a Tomcat 6.0.16 application server. It works very well and I am very satisfied with Richfaces. By using <a4j:keepAlive/> tag the application works in many tabs simultaneously!
      But there is a problem of „Back button“ or pages caching in „Mozilla Firefox 3“. I know that it is a question for Java Server Faces but ...
      I add a PhaseListener:
      import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
      import javax.faces.event.PhaseEvent;
      import javax.faces.event.PhaseId;
      import javax.faces.event.PhaseListener;
      import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

      public class CacheControlPhaseListener implements PhaseListener {
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
      public PhaseId getPhaseId(){
      return PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE;
      }
      public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent event) {}
      public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event){
      FacesContext facesContext = event.getFacesContext();
      HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)
      facesContext.getExternalContext().getResponse();

      response.addHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
      response.addHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
      response.addHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate");
      response.addHeader("Expires", "Mon, 8 Aug 2006 10:00:00 GMT"); // some date in the past
      }
      }
      After that in Internet Explorer 7 if I click „Back Button“ or select a page from cache I get the page „Page has expired “. That’s fine. But, in Mozilla Firefox 3 there aren’t any changes! If I want to disable pages caching I must enter the url about:config and set properties browser.cache.disc.enable and browser.cache.memory.enable to false. After that there aren’t pages caching and there aren’t any problems! But, I want to disable pages caching without client browser’s setup.
      Can I solve this problem without Seam or Spring Web Flow?!
