About the Data which has been set up in Request Scope

[PavanPL KalyanK]

Think of a scenario if i set soe data in request scope and if the user presses the back button will the data inside the request scope still exists ??

If I understand the situation you are trying to describe, no.

Request scope only covers a single request.

If the client abandons that request -OR- if the request completes and the response is sent, thats the end of it.

Is clicking the browser back button will fall under the specified list??

Becuase i think that (Clicking the back button) will be not considerded as a Request .

(I think data which is set in a request scope will be there even if he/she clicks a Back button of browser.

Any suggestions.

Well, for that you need to prevent the browser Cache .otherwise it wont be happen

The exact behavior on clicking the back button depends on many things - in addition to cache control, there may be JavaScripts on the page activated by the page being re-displayed and any number of other possibilities. You can't rely on all browsers behaving exactly the same way.

In any case, the first request is gone, long gone. It is up to you the programmer to correctly handle any data you want to keep.
