Hi again.
I'm still working on this issue. I installed a filter
to all my servlets and now it's working very good. No
problem with that.
This server is running apache and is connected to
tomcat through mod_jk. Since the tomcat applications
are doing OK with the no-cache header, now I'm
configuring apache to add that header to my php
applications.
While I was testing, I discovered that the headers
configured inside apache's httpd.conf were also been
applied to the tomcat apps...
Therefore, now I know that this issue could be
completely solved by just configuring apache.
