My controller is

Answer 1

I used below lines in my controller.

ResponseEntity.ok().cacheControl(CacheControl.maxAge(secondWeWantTobeCached, TimeUnit.SECONDS)).body(objToReturnInResponse);

Please note that Response will have header Cache-Control with value secondWeWantTobeCached. However if we are typing url in addressbar and pressing enter, Request will always be sent from Chrome to server. However if we hit url from some link, browser will not send a new request and it will be taken from cache.
