What you need to remove is the HTTP header "Cache-Control: no-cache". See
your JSP documentation on how to control HTTP headers.

HTTP headers never show up in source.

meta http-equiv is a ugly cludge supported by few (if any) servers
allowing html to specify HTML headers. It is also abused by some browsers.

In theory yes, but this requires some coding and goes way outside of what
is allowed to do in proxies by the HTTP standard..
