preventing page from being displayed.

Question

hi all,

i have a jsp page login.jsp, which checks for username and password and when submitted forwards to another page display.jsp . All i need to do is when i hit the backspace key or back button in browser i should display the same display.jsp instead of going back to login.jsp. please help me with any ideas and code snippets.

Here is some code you can put in your login.jsp that will force a redirect to your display JSP if the user is already logged in. You just have to fill in the test and the URL to redirect to.

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

<%-- If user is not logged in or is not an admin, dispatch to the login page --%>
<c:if test="${some test for 'user is logged in'}">
  <c:redirect url="/display/jsp/path.jsp"/>
</c:if>
