Hi I have found a place where I could find if the user used the browser's navigation buttons. The "getSerializedViewFromServletSession" method of "JspStateManagerImpl" class knows the currentViewId and the savedViewId, if they are different user must have pressed the back or forward buttons of the browser. ( I am using myfaces 1.0.7).
But I still cannot tell if the user has pressed the back or forward button. I need to perform some action if the user pressed the back button. Is there any way to find that out ? Any input is of great help, thanks in advance.

Is there a request generated when the back button is pressed ?
