Are you sending If-Modified-Since? That doesn't look like it'd work
in Tomcat.
The 304 behavior doesn't apply to dynamic data as it is *always*
regenerated. So, I'm not even sure if you'd want it. You definitely
don't want to look at the date on the jsp file as that tells you
nothing (unlike static content).
Static content is a different story, but if you are serving static files
from Tomcat, you probably want a real HTTP server in front of it.
