自Tomcat 7以来，提供了一个容器过期过滤器，可能会有所帮助。参见：

• Tomcat 10：https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-10.0-doc/config/filter.html#Expires_Filter
• Tomcat 9：https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/filter.html#Expires_Filter
• Tomcat 8：https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/filter.html#Expires_Filter
• Tomcat 7：https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/filter.html#Expires_Filter
• Tomcat 6（非官方backport）：https://github.com/bnegrao/ExpiresFilter

ExpiresFilter是Apache mod_expires的Java Servlet API端口。此过滤器控制服务器响应中Expires HTTP标头和Cache-Control HTTP标头的max-age指令的设置。过期日期可以设置为与上次修改源文件的时间或客户端访问的时间相关。

<filter>
    <filter-name>ExpiresFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.ExpiresFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>ExpiresByType image</param-name>
        <param-value>access plus 10 days</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>ExpiresByType text/css</param-name>
        <param-value>access plus 10 hours</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>ExpiresByType application/javascript</param-name>
        <param-value>access plus 10 minutes</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <!-- Let everything else expire immediately -->
    <init-param>
        <param-name>ExpiresDefault</param-name>
        <param-value>access plus 0 seconds</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>ExpiresFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>

类似于上面的文章，除了代码有一些问题。这将禁用所有浏览器缓存：

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Date;

public class CacheControlFilter implements Filter {

    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
                         FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {

        HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse) response;
        resp.setHeader("Expires", "Tue, 03 Jul 2001 06:00:00 GMT");
        resp.setDateHeader("Last-Modified", new Date().getTime());
        resp.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
        resp.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");

        chain.doFilter(request, response);
    }

}

然后在web.xml中进行Map，如Stu Thompson's answer中所述。

我不相信有配置可以做到这一点。但是，编写一个过滤器来设置每个webapp的Cache-Control头不应该花费太多精力。例如：

public class test implements Filter {

        public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
                throws IOException, ServletException {

            chain.doFilter(request, response);
            ((StatusResponse)response).setHeader("Cache-Control",
                    "max-age=0, private, must-revalidate");
        }

        public void destroy() {}

        public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {}
}

然后将此代码段放入webapp的web.xml文件中。

<filter>
    <filter-name>SetCacheControl</filter-name>
    <filter-class>ch.dietpizza.cacheControlFilter</filter-class>
</filter>                       
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>SetCacheControl</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

实际上，Tomcat配置中有几个元素直接影响这一点。例如，请参阅http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/valve.html上的文档。
Atlassian建议使用以下两个语句来启用浏览器端缓存，以便Microsoft Internet Explorer能够正确下载和查看附加文档：

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator" securePagesWithPragma="false" />
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.NonLoginAuthenticator" securePagesWithPragma="false" />

这可能是你正在寻找的：
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html#Context%20Parameters

cachingAllowed : If the value of this flag is true, the cache for static

 resources will be used. If not specified, the default value of the flag is true.

在更改此标志后，还要删除/work/ Catalina /localhost中的应用程序缓存文件夹。

我知道的唯一参数是<Valve>元素上的disableProxyCaching。参见here。

我研究的几乎所有答案都来自服务器端，实际上客户端也需要工作。在jsp/html中需要在header下面添加。

<META http-equiv="Expires" CONTENT="0">  
<META http-equiv="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">  
<META http-equiv="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
