I need the Java code because I thought the toGMTString would do it, but it's not working. My concern isn't that they will reload early, but rather they absolutely must not access the cached version after an hour.<br />
<br />
In other words, what is an easy standard way in Java to generate that date/time format for 1 hour from the current time?<br />
<br />
Perhaps I should post this in the Java category.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Can someone please give me the exact Java code to place the expires header in a Java servlet that would make it expire exactly 1 hour from now. Also, how compatible is this header with browsers?<br />
<br />
I ask for the exact code because I have code that already does it, I thought, but it doesn't work. Sometimes netscape (perhaps others) will continually re-request to the servlet again and again when I use the code below:<br />
<br />
dateNow.setTime( dateNow.getTime() + (1000*60*60) );<br />
res.setHeader( &quot;Expires&quot;, dateNow.toGMTString() );

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
