HTML Cache control meta tag

[Kris]

Is there a configuration option somewhere that can configure the Meta tag: CACHE-CONTROL?  or the PRAGMA:NO-CACHE?

I would like to turn caching off/keep the browser from caching static files.

Thanks,

Kris

you want to disable caching for static files served with staticMountpoint?

I don't think there is a built in way. but you can overrule the whole jetty.xml configuration with the `-c` option:

java -jar launcher.jar -c jetty.xml

Thank you for responding!  I believe you are correct.  The option you describe above is very useful for defining Jetty server options (which I do use to configure SSL and other configuration options of the Jetty server) but the cache is controlled in the servlet method(s).

I did some research and finally found where Helma defines to Jetty the static directory.  Helma uses the Jetty standard servlet named "ResourceHandler" for static content in the Helma source file: ApplicationManager.java around line 519 (+/- since my version of Helma has other custom mods that were put in.)

ResourceHandler has a method "setCacheControl" that allows setting the cache configuration for every static item.  So adding the line like:

    rhandler.setCacheControl("no-cache,public");

Provided the solution I was looking for.  It would be nice if there was some more control over what is changed but the basic solution will work.

Again, thank you for responding,

Kris
