NoCacheFilter is a Java Servlet filter that allows you to completely disable browser caching for requested resources.

Sample configuration

Declare the filter in your web descriptor file web.xml:

<filter>
    <filter-name>noCache</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.samaxes.filter.NoCacheFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

Map the filter to serve your dynamic resources:

<!-- Using Servlet mapping -->
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>noCache</filter-name>
    <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
    <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
    <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>

<!-- Or URL mapping -->
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>noCache</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
