Generally browsers store pages in their cache and when you press the back button, the browser displays the page from its cache. To make the browser request the page again from the server (so that you can check whether the user is logged in or not), you'll have to put some headers in the pages which you only want to be visible after user is logged in. Read this to know which headers to use...

Like I had requested you before here you really need to check your private messages and take appropriate action. Please note this is not optional.

It is expected you take the required action, before you post again.

Sandy , which framework are you using . Spring implicitly handles this because each request madatorily hits the controller before the JSP is invoked. If you are using Struts you might have to write an Ajax call on the "onPageLoad" of the previous page which the control would go on hitting back and then send the request to a different class where you can perform some logic.

Hope this helps.
