Setting browser cache expiry in JBoss 5.1.0.GA

[adrian.howchin]

Hi folks,

I'm  looking for something similar to mod_expires, but for JBoss 5.1.0.GA. What I want to do is set the browser cache expiry information for files like .swf, .gif's etc. I  can't seem to find anything on the forums or by Google - has anyone  done this before?

Cheers,
Adrian

Hi,

I don't know whether JBoss provides this feature, but I don't think so because it uses an embedded Tomcat webserver. And this one does not provide cache control out of the box.

You have to add a custom "Filter". Take a look at this page to see details: http://www.symphonious.net/2007/06/19/caching-in-tomcat/

Hope this helps
