SpringBoot, how can I disable cache using application.properties

Question

What I want to do is refreshing the view on back key. So that my user can see updated page.

So I tried to disable cache by adding:

spring.resources.cache.cachecontrol.no-cache=true

However, it doesn't work.

I'm fairly certain that browsers will load a cached version regardless of your cache control header configuration if you use the browser history (eg. a back button). JavaScript code is still executed though, and by creating a proper event listener, you should be able to reload a page in case you're using the back button, as mentioned in this question. — Dimitri Mestdagh

You can specify which cache type to use by adding spring.cache.type to your configuration. To disable it set the value to NONE.

spring.cache.type=NONE

[docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.1.6.RELEASE/reference/html/… cache) according to this documentation it mentions: When @EnableCaching is present in your configuration, a suitable cache configuration is expected as well. If you need to disable caching altogether in certain environments, force the cache type to none to use a no-op implementation, as shown in the following example:

@jkamcc This link is broken unfortunately, and I'm really curious about "the following example" :P haha
