How to disable browser cache?

The following code in web.xml doesn't work:

<filter>
      <filter-name>CacheControlFilter</filter-name>
      <filter-class>org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter</filter-class>
      <init-param>
        <param-name>Cache-Control</param-name>
        <param-value>no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0, post-check=0, pre-check=0</param-value>
      </init-param>
      <init-param>
        <param-name>Pragma</param-name>
        <param-value>no-cache</param-value>
      </init-param>
    </filter>

    <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>CacheControlFilter</filter-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>

Could you try this:

in your xhtml

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"/>
</head>

It works only with pages generated via GET method, but I use ajax (which use POST method).

For the next person who comes along this works pretty well. I found it in JIRA 273 and it looks

like it's been around since Seam 2.1

<page view-id="/partner/somepage.xhtml"> <header name="Cache-Control">no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate</header> </page>
