Execute the following scriptlet at the beginning of your JSP pages to prevent them from being cached at the browser:
<%
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store"); //HTTP 1.1

%>

Appropriate HTTP header attributes have to be set to prevent the dynamic content output by the JSP page from being cached by the browser. The following jsp code has to be included at the beginning of your JSP pages to prevent caching :<%response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store"); //HTTP 1.1%>
