Re: css files cached

[Matt Blum]

The way I've gotten around this problem before is by making the CSS files JSPs, just for the caching instructions.  All you need to do is put a content-type header set to "text/css" and a caching instruction, change the extension to ".jsp" (and therefore all references to it as well), and leave the rest of it alone.

Probably not JSF related, but anyway:


My css files, served from the web app, seem to be cached indefinitely
somewhere. These are regular css files, so no place for JSP tags here.
Any idea how I can tell whatever cache in between to check the server
for a new version now and again? I'm seeing the issue both on Win/IE
and Mac/Safari. The css that is being used is at least a week old
(maybe months), until I manually open the css URL and do a hard
refresh. My users won't be doing this …
