    <p>I built a general method for that with following features:</p> <ul> <li>returning "not modified" if the file hasn't been modified locally, a Status.NOT_MODIFIED is sent to the caller. Uses <a href="http://commons.apache.org/lang/api-release/index.html">Apache Commons Lang</a></li> <li>using a file stream object instead of reading the file itself</li> </ul> <p>Here the code:</p> <pre><code>import org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DateUtils; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Utils.class); @GET @Path("16x16") @Produces("image/png") public Response get16x16PNG(@HeaderParam("If-Modified-Since") String modified) { File repositoryFile = new File("c:/temp/myfile.png"); return returnFile(repositoryFile, modified); } /** * * Sends the file if modified and "not modified" if not modified * future work may put each file with a unique id in a separate folder in tomcat * * use that static URL for each file * * if file is modified, URL of file changes * * -&gt; client always fetches correct file * * method header for calling method public Response getXY(@HeaderParam("If-Modified-Since") String modified) { * * @param file to send * @param modified - HeaderField "If-Modified-Since" - may be "null" * @return Response to be sent to the client */ public static Response returnFile(File file, String modified) { if (!file.exists()) { return Response.status(Status.NOT_FOUND).build(); } // do we really need to send the file or can send "not modified"? if (modified != null) { Date modifiedDate = null; // we have to switch the locale to ENGLISH as parseDate parses in the default locale Locale old = Locale.getDefault(); Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH); try { modifiedDate = DateUtils.parseDate(modified, org.apache.http.impl.cookie.DateUtils.DEFAULT_PATTERNS); } catch (ParseException e) { logger.error(e.getMessage(), e); } Locale.setDefault(old); if (modifiedDate != null) { // modifiedDate does not carry milliseconds, but fileDate does // therefore we have to do a range-based comparison // 1000 milliseconds = 1 second if (file.lastModified()-modifiedDate.getTime() &lt; DateUtils.MILLIS_PER_SECOND) { return Response.status(Status.NOT_MODIFIED).build(); } } } // we really need to send the file try { Date fileDate = new Date(file.lastModified()); return Response.ok(new FileInputStream(file)).lastModified(fileDate).build(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { return Response.status(Status.NOT_FOUND).build(); } } /*** copied from org.apache.http.impl.cookie.DateUtils, Apache 2.0 License ***/ /** * Date format pattern used to parse HTTP date headers in RFC 1123 format. */ public static final String PATTERN_RFC1123 = "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz"; /** * Date format pattern used to parse HTTP date headers in RFC 1036 format. */ public static final String PATTERN_RFC1036 = "EEEE, dd-MMM-yy HH:mm:ss zzz"; /** * Date format pattern used to parse HTTP date headers in ANSI C * &lt;code&gt;asctime()&lt;/code&gt; format. */ public static final String PATTERN_ASCTIME = "EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss yyyy"; public static final String[] DEFAULT_PATTERNS = new String[] { PATTERN_RFC1036, PATTERN_RFC1123, PATTERN_ASCTIME }; </code></pre> <p>Note that the Locale switching does not seem to be thread-safe. I think, it's better to switch the locale globally. I am not sure about the side-effects though...</p>
