    <%
    response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store");
    response.setHeader("Expires","0");
    response.setDateHeader("Expires",-1);
    %>

    OR

    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    window.history.forward(1);
    </script>

    I would highly advise AGAINST disabling the back button. It would only confuse your users, annoy the heck out of them and run contrary to their expectations.

    If you do disable it, use javascript.. but be aware that anyone (with firefox at least) can disable javascript and hence get their back button... err.. back. :-)

    You wouldn't use JSP/Servlets. You would use JavaScript.
