I'm not 100% sure what your question is.

The apache proxy follows RFC2616 when it comes to understanding and
honouring the Cache-Control directive. The responsibility of setting
this header correctly is that of your Weblogic application.

If the application is braindead, you should be able to use the
capability of mod_headers to add the cache-control header within apache
itself. (As I am aware this should work, as long as mod_headers comes
before mod_proxy in your config. In v2.0, this should work automatically
- but test it first).
