I have strange discarding behavior of struts2 while setting cache option for my image.
I'm trying to put image from db to be cached on client side
To render image I use ( http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/how-can-we-display-dynamic-or-static-images-that-can-be-provided-as-an-array-of-bytes.html ) where special result type render as follow:
public void execute(ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception {
...//some preparation
HttpServletResponse response = ServletActionContext.getResponse();
HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
try
{
byte[] imageBytes = action.getImage();
response.setContentType("image/gif");
response.setContentLength(imageBytes.length);
//I want cache up to 10 min
Date future = new Date(((new Date()).getTime() + 1000 * 10*60l));
;
response.addDateHeader("Expires", future.getTime());
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=" + 10*60 + "");
response.addHeader("cache-Control", "public");
response.setHeader("ETag", request.getRequestURI());
os.write(imageBytes);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
}
os.flush();
os.close();
}
But when image is embedded to page it is always reloaded (Firebug shows code 200), and neither Expires, nor max-age are presented in header

I have no idea why it is dissapered, may be problem in url? It is forms with parameter:
