I have written a custom interceptor for disabling back button functionality in browser. But code is not working. i have added meta tag in html also. I do not want to use java script for this. 

public String intercept(ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception {
                final ActionContext actionContext = invocation.getInvocationContext();
                HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) actionContext.get(StrutsStatics.HTTP_RESPONSE);
                if(response != null){

                    response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store");
                    response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
                    response.setHeader("Expires", "-1");
                }

                return invocation.invoke();
            }

Can i write a custom interceptor which will check if user session is exists it will redirect on the same page from where user clicked browser back button.

Any suggestion how can i implement it.

    You can't disable the back button. The back button is a fundamental feature of a browser that cannot be circumvented. – Roman C Jun 27 '15 at 11:28

  • Generally you can't, you can do some hacks for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12381563/how-to-stop-browser-back-button-using-javascript but not a recommended way at all. – Alireza Fattahi Jun 27 '15 at 14:10

Ok so I have found a solution which disable back button functionality.

I have created one action with name RedirectAction which checks if session is exist or not. if session exists then it redirects user on home page otherwise on login page.

<action name="home" class="com.demo.actions.RedirectAction" method="redirectAtHome">
    <result name="success">home</result>
    <result name="fail" type="redirectAction">
         <param name="actionName">welcome</param>
    </result>
</action>
