重新加载网页-浏览器的“后退”按钮（HTML / JSP）

Question

I have a small issue. In my web application I use jsp forms.

There is a form and it's data gets stored in a database when user submit the form. Upon a successful submission, user is redirected to a confirmation page.

However, when the user press the "back" button of the browser, user is redirected to the previous form.(No server side interaction/No updated data from the database) And when the user press submit,that data is also saved in DB. Since this is an account related application, this behavior is not acceptable.

My question is, is there a way to prevent this behavior?

Answer 1

Created a solution using javascript based on Luca's idea and it worked.Now when user press the back button, form is filled with the updated and latest data from database.

<input type="hidden" id="refreshed" value="no">
    <script type="text/javascript">

           onload=function(){
               var e=document.getElementById("refreshed");
               if(e.value=="no")e.value="yes";
               else{e.value="no";location.reload();}
           }

    </script>

Thanks :)
