Trying to implement Recently Viewed links in Java

[Vicky Jaiswal]

I am working on a project and I am handling the UI part of the application. In the application there are lots of weblinks. I have a requirement in which I have to present a drop down. On clicking the drop down I have to show the last 5 links which were recently accessed in the session. In the project we are using Spring MVC, JSP 2.0, javascript and JQuery.
I am thinking of implementing this by somehow saving the accessing of the links in the session only.

Please let me know how to achieve this requirement in a best possible way.

Thanks in advance!!!

Custom Filter or Interceptor depending on your requirements.

Thanks for a quick reply.

But I didn't get how to implement this functionality with Interceptors or Custom filters. Please elaborate some more on this. Thanks!

Is there anyway to implement this using JQuery? Thanks!
