How to handle browser back button?

Hi,

I am facing problems in my application(built using JSP/servlet) when the user clicks browser's back button.How the servlet should be coded in such way that it detects browser's back button event and performs no action.I am not allowed to use Javascript.

Thanks in advance

This question is asked a lot on this forum, whether the page is JSP, ASP, or HTML, the answer is the same:
There's no way to disable the back button that can't ge circumvented:
