You can not capture the fact that the back button on the client was clicked. You should t least disable caching on the client.

Hi Bosun Bello ,

Thanks for your reply, i thought same on this...But, in some sites(e.g. bank sites) i found clicking back button is redirecting to Some Error page. I need to implement same in my current project. Present, we are disabling back button functionality by using Java script. But, we need to implement it as disabling session and redirect user to error page(with some message and login page link).

Thanks...

i am not sure . but whenever user click the back button , we can track the behaviour (it is nott 100% )through below javascript code . inside the javascript function you need to call java method which wiill invalid user session

javascript code:

   

window.onbeforeunload = function (){
  return "user clicked back button"
}

You seem to insinuate that the onbeforeunload will be triggered only when the user pressed the back button.

You´re wrong.

You´re looking for a solution in the wrong direction.

Right solutions involve under each disabling the response caching, the POST-Redirect-GET pattern and/or a solid authentication filter.
