Resteasy provides an extension to JAX-RS that allows you to automatically set Cache-Control headers on a successful GET request. It can only be used on @GET annotated methods. A successful @GET request is any request that returns 200 OK response.
package org.jboss.resteasy.annotations.cache; public @interface Cache { int maxAge() default -1; int sMaxAge() default -1; boolean noStore() default false; boolean noTransform() default false; boolean mustRevalidate() default false; boolean proxyRevalidate() default false; boolean isPrivate() default false; } public @interface NoCache { String[] fields() default {}; }
While @Cache builds a complex Cache-Control header, @NoCache is a simplified notation to say that you don't want anything cached i.e. Cache-Control: nocache.
These annotations can be put on the resource class or interface and specifies a default cache value for each @GET resource method. Or they can be put individually on each @GET resource method.
