Spring WebContentInterceptor is not adding cacheSeconds to header

I am trying to add configuration in spring mvc so that my static contents like js, images will be cached by browser. I have add the following in dispatcher-servlet.xml

<beans>
.............
    <mvc:interceptors>
        <bean id="webContentInterceptor" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.WebContentInterceptor">
            <property name="cacheSeconds" value="31556926"/>
            <property name="useExpiresHeader" value="true"/>
            <property name="useCacheControlHeader" value="true"/>
            <property name="useCacheControlNoStore" value="true"/>
        </bean>
    </mvc:interceptors>
</beans>

But i still dont see the caching is enabled. I see the following in the browser debugger where it says Cache-Control:"no-cache".

Firefox Debugger

Please help !!!

I had the same problem. I added the interceptor but noting changed in the HTTP reponses.

In my case there was another spring context XML in my project where another <mvc:interceptors> was registered. It effectivly replaced my WebContentInterceptor configuration. Combining them solved it.

Perhaps something similar is going on in your configuration Abdus Samad...

You're missing the cacheMappings property to configure path patterns / cache directives.

<bean id="webContentInterceptor" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.WebContentInterceptor">
  <property name="cacheSeconds" value="31556926"/>
  <property name="useExpiresHeader" value="true"/>
  <property name="useCacheControlHeader" value="true"/>
  <property name="useCacheControlNoStore" value="true"/>
  <property name="cacheMappings">
    <props>
      <prop key="/static/**">2592000</prop>
    </props>
  </property>
</bean>

But indeed, Burak Keceli's answer is spot on; you'd better use WebMvcConfigurerAdapter.addResourceHandlers or the XML configuration version with <mvc:resources/>.

You can use mvc:resources for caching static files.

<mvc:resources mapping="/static/**" location="/public-resources/" 
       cache-period="31556926"/>
<mvc:annotation-driven/>
