Regarding what happens when the user presses the back button, you may find the info I just added to the wiki helpful:

Hi,

Thanks Marcelo,

For the back button of the browser I have disabled it because user does "tax 
declaration" on the web site.
The problem with the back button of the browser is to handle the values typed 
by the user 3 pages ago...so if the user go back on this page, the form is 
empty...so I prefer to forbid this action...(using javascript  : 
action.history.forward(1))

Moreover I do not know if when the user press the back button, if the browser 
call back the JSP page or the struts action?

but I would like to be able to redirect the user to the previous page by 
calling the appropriate struts action.
I would like to know how webmaster usually do this behaviour....
TIA

He is questioning your requirement. It does not seem reasonable to put a link to the last page visited when the browser has a built-in "go back" button. I do press the back button ... a lot.

  Sorry, haven't look closely at his answer

I used this long long time ago and... frankly ... I don't remember. Just try it and put your findings here or in the wiki. Also, if you use the referer remember it is browser-generated and, as a principle, you can't trust user input...
