Where i will find the .htaccess file in tomcat(on windows) in order to leverage browser caching? Many blog posts says it will be in root directory of your web application. For example if my application is named as myapp then .htaccess file should be under directory myapp. But i am not finding any such file under myapp directory.

  • You might have to create that file if it doesn't exist. – Clément Malet Sep 08 '13 at 10:09
  • Apache Tomcat is **not** Apache HTTP Server. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10528552/htaccess-not-working-apache-tomcat – home Sep 08 '13 at 10:11
  • @home: then can u (or anyone)please explain how to leverage browser caching with tomcat (on windows)? – a Learner Sep 08 '13 at 10:17
  • AFAIK, you have to build it into your application as Tomcat does not provide sophisticated caching strategies. Your second option is to place a reverse proxy (e.g. Apache HTTP Server) in front of you application server. What is your definition of browser caching? – home Sep 08 '13 at 18:54
