How to disable http caching in applet

Question

How can i disable http caching of all my http connections in my japplet? I dont want any of my http (request/response)to be cached.Regardless of the user settings in control panel\java\Temporary File Settings. Applet is signed and compiled with java1.6.
I am using URLConnection.class and my request to an 3rd party web service is being cached.
ie:
I can see my request url in Java Cache Viewer. http://www.service.com?param1=232&param2=2323232
Also i can find the responses in application ....users\data\sun\java\deployment\cache
responseline1
responseline2

So which libraries are you using? What kind of calls do you make and are now being cached? Is the applet self the thing that is being cached? — M Platvoet, Jul 19 '11 at 13:35

You can disable caches using URLConnection.setUseCaches(boolean)

An easy way to break caching is to add a random value to the url ala:

String url = "http://www.example.com/?noCache=" + Math.Random();
