You can't really disable the browser's back button. The solution is to write your application to handle the situation.

You could try to close the current window using java script. However that would prompt the user if the he/she really wants to close the browser.

NO! lol

You can expire the page with meta tags, but that only works IF you are using posts. Gets will not allow it to expire.

I think you must use location.href="your1stpg.php" in your2ndpg.php..

Check the session in each and every jsp or servlet and if the session doesnt exist then forward it to login page.

Pressing the browser's back doesn't make a call to the server. So I really don't think your suggestion would be of any help.
