Any way to prevent caching of pages with Seam?

[oneworld95]

Is there any way to prevent a Seam app's pages from being cached? I've found tons of info but nothing that's specific to Seam. Some HTTP headers (pragma no-cache) work for IE but not for Firefox in preventing the caching of pages. Thanks.

One solution is to use the <header> in pages.xml for a specific page.

<page view-id="/admin/your_page.xhtml">
 <description>Admin Page</description>
 <header name="Cache-Control" value="no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate" />
</page>

or for all your pages

<page view-id="*">
 <header name="Cache-Control" value="no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate" />
 <navigation>
    <rule if-outcome="home">
      <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml" />
    </rule>
  </navigation>
</page

Thanks, Cody. I wonder if that works in Firefox; it seems to be finicky about this sort of thing.

As I feared, Firefox (version 3.5.3) ignores this and caches the page anyway.

Sounds like a firefox bug.
