thanks

for your reply & immidiate concern but i am facing problem in mozilla & also the post link you have sent is not sufficient sorry for this but guide me further

please

thank you

Can you show the code of logout, and how you are checking the session in the other page?

actually that is being done through struts

& i am not maintaing sessions if you still said me tpo post the code i can

thank you

I am not very thorough with struts, but there must be some way to maintain session in struts as well.

yes there is a way but i am not using sessions in any of my fom so that i need to invalidate them there can be any other way to solve this porblem

thank you

I may be wrong, but I don't think without maintaining a session, the login/logout problem can be handled.

include this one befor logout page
<script type="text/javascript">
window.history.forward();
function noBack(){ window.history.forward(); }
</script>

and this one in logout jsp

<HEAD>

<script type="text/javascript">
window.history.forward();
function noBack(){ window.history.forward(); }
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="noBack();" onpageshow="if (event.persisted) noBack();" onunload="">

</p>
</BODY>

thanks for your reply raghu but i am not using any logout.jsp
But i will surely try your first code which i have to includein my jsp's b4 logout

thank you

If you have invalidated the session once the user logs out, and even still you see the page when you press back button, it is most likely a cached page shown by the browser.. You can change this behaviour by adding the following code to your jsp..

thanku so much Prasad Krishnegowda fro your reply but i have already added these lines on my page

Actually this code works allright for Internet Explorer but for Mozilla it does not work

thank you

Hi Aditi,
I remember there was a bug in firefox not recognizing no-cache tag..
What version of firefox you are using?
Also see this link http://www.coderanch.com/t/283182/JSP/java/prevent-caching. It may help you

<HEAD>

<script type="text/javascript">
window.history.forward();
function noBack(){ window.history.forward(); }
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="noBack();" onpageshow="if (event.persisted) noBack();" onunload="">

just place this code in logout. jsp and there use send Redirect method in the logout.jsp to redirect to your login page that will solve all the problems

hey Prasad Krishnegowda

thanks for the reply i tried it but also doesnot work by page is still going back after loggingout in Mozilla

help me please

thank you
