How to redirect to a different page when a browser's Back button click

[sheed]

I have a web JSP/Servlet web app where a user logs-in and search on the data, while searching data. if user presses back button on Internet explorer window "webpage expires !" pops-up but when user refreshes the page it reloads again. Instead if the refresh is clicked I want to end the users session take it to the login page. Also if the user comes on the login page and at that point if pressing forward button I want to keep on the login page until the user explicitly logs-in again. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

In general this issue is resolved with "POST THEN REDIRECT" technique. You should not generate a page right on POST, but rather redirect to the result page.

I am doing post and then reiderect on my login page. But if a user comes to log-in page pressing back button I don't want to end the session and let the user log log-in again rather than just pressing the forward button to navigate the pages. Thanks
