Caching static content

Caching for static resources can be enabled for improved performance. The browser would cache the resources served for the specified time period. The cache-period attribute or the setCachePeriod method can be used to specify the caching interval (in seconds) based on the type of configuration used. The following snippets show the details:

This is the Java configuration:

    registry 
   .addResourceHandler("/resources/**") 
   .addResourceLocations("/static-resources/") 
   .setCachePeriod(365 * 24 * 60 * 60);

This is the XML configuration:

    <mvc:resources  
     mapping="/resources/**"  
     location="/static-resources/"  
     cache-period="365 * 24 * 60 * 60"/>

The Cache-Control: max-age={specified-max-age} response header will be sent to the browser.
