Cache settings for individual dynamic and static files in a Java Web App

Is it possible to apply different cache-control in the HTTP header response for specific files in a web app running on Tomcat? I'm looking to do so from the web app without having to change Tomcat's configuration since those settings change with each deployment.

For instance, here's an example of what I want:

This is a definitely a job for ServletFilters as they allow you to intercept requests.

This way you can easily set the correct HTTP Headers for caching

I started writing a solution to this a few minutes ago using two ServletFilters.

One filter to cache the resources and one not to cache them.

However, I stumbled upon cache-filter and it already does the job for you...

It looks like you need to point your Never cache resources to the

NoCacheFilter

And the cachable resources to the

CacheFilter
