Answer 1

You mean not to instruct the browser for caching it? Just use a filter and add what you want to your response header:

HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
if (!req.getRequestURI().startsWith(
        req.getContextPath() + ResourceHandler.RESOURCE_IDENTIFIER)) { // Skip JSF resources //
                                                                        // (CSS/JS/Images/etc)
    res.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"); // HTTP 1.1.
    res.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.0.
    res.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); // Proxies.
}
