Other people may have different information, but from what I've read (I haven't
personally tested this), using meta tags to prevent caching is unreliable.
You're better off using headers to specify this.  You can set these directly in
the JSP page.

In particular (I think these are correct), specify "Pragma: no-cache" for HTTP
1.0 support, and "Cache-Control: max-age=0" for HTTP 1.1 support.
