It is possible to set cachingAllowed="false" on the <Context /> element to
prevent Tomcat from caching, but except in extreme cases it is usually
useless because of a short TTL (5sec by default). See
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5 (See http://cat-5.ora-code.com).5-doc/config/context.html for more details
on Tomcat caching options.
Otherwise, you have to roll your own Filter that will set the caching
headers (Expires, Cache-Control, Pragma, etc) to control proxy server
caching. Tomcat doesn't provide anything out-of-the-box to do this sort of
thing.
