How to configure JBOSS 5 to include an X-Frame-options header?


I have been using jBoss 5.1 for deploying my applications. While testing clickjacking issue is raised. After searching many sites and blogs, I am not able to find the answer. In one of the sites I found that clickjacking is disabled if the site doesn't appear within the iframe :
<iframe src="http://localhost:port"/>
Jboss home page is now being displayed in the iframe. Please let me know how to disable this using X-frame-options to avoid click-jacking.

Thanks.
