Disabling the back button of web browser

Hello ranchers,
I have a problem in servlets , hope some one could help me out

Whenever i signout from the homepage of my web application i could get into it again when the back button of the web broser is clicked so i have programmatically tried to check whether my session is killed by putting another link on the application which redirects to login page once the user signs out.Please help me out.How do I ensure that even the user clicks the back button of web browser he doesnt enter the session but is sent to the login page.
Thanks,
MAHESHNAG.

You can't. And you shouldn't even if you could.

Search through this and the HTML forum for many previous discussions on how to fix your application, not attempt to hobble the user's browser.

Please read this for more information.

Hi Bear,

I think the question posted by Mahesh is:
how can the web developers ensure that if the user clicks the back button of the web browser (after he has signed out), he does not go to the session page. Instead he should be redirected to the home page.

The question is not how to disable the back button of the users browser which obviously will freak out the user.

Thank you

Best Regards

Which is why I suggested searching for the previous discussions on that issue.
