Cache control headers must be specified on HttpServletRequest object;

My question is about investigating NPE when they occur in MyFaces code, not in 
my code.

Subject: Re: How to investigate reasons for NullPointer and ViewExpired 
exceptions?

Recently I had a hard time to figure out some NPE with ViewScoped beans.

In my case some actions on the bean were not fired, so subsequent actions
ended in a NPE because required objects where not initialized. Problem was
happening only in Firefox in case the user pressed F5 after doing some
stuff on the page.

I suspected off cache handling. Adding a phase listener to add the no cache
headers solved the problem. This is the code I'm using: (don't know why but
adding the same headers on my main facelets template didn't worked)

/**

public class CacheControlPhaseListener implements PhaseListener
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

@Override
public PhaseId getPhaseId()
{
//System.out.println("response " + Formatter.formatDateTimeWithSeconds(new
Date()));
return PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE;
}

@Override
public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent event)
{
}

@Override
public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event)
{
FacesContext facesContext = event.getFacesContext();

//HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)
facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest();
//System.out.println(request.getRequestURI());

HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)
facesContext.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache,no-store,must-revalidate");
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); // Backwards compatibility for
HTTP 1.0.
}
}
