Problems with back button and forwarding

[justinblacke]

Hi all,

I a growing very frustrated with the following problem for which I cannot find a solution. Here is the scnario.

I have a webapplication that has an index page. So when I navigate to my application like <myapp> the index page fowards the request to <myapp>/page1.html.

Now if the user presses the back button on page1.html he/she is navigated to the index page which again will forward to page1.html which is not what we want. He/she should go back to the url they were at before accessing the webapplication.

I have tried to solve this issue with the history object amonget other things but nothing is working.

I really appreciate any feedback or help on this issue.

Cheers,
Justin

Are you using a different page on index.html?

Why is it redirecting to page1.html?

The requriment is that people access he application with just <myapp> but it needs to redirect to page1.html because that page is served by a servlet with more processing.

Then, it explains the reason of your frustration.

You're history is fine, but since you set some redirection to <myapp>, then it will always redirect to the URL that you've set.
