Setting HTTP Response Headers Through Tomcat Configurations

[Anurag Kapur <an...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I wanted to poll this group to know if there are any settings/configurations
in Tomcat (version 5.5.27) that can set default HTTP response headers, fir
example Cache-Control?

I know this can be done through application specific code using
HttpServletResponse<http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.3/javadoc/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html>
 but if possible I would like to do this though some built in
configurations.

Thank you for your time.

Regards
Anurag

There is none.

You can either implement a Filter [1] (inside a web application), see
the Java Servlet specification [2] for details, or a Valve [3] (at any
Tomcat container level).

If you will be using a Filter, I would recommend to look at
UrlRewriteFilter by Paul Tuckey [4].
