Pages returning to their callers

Hi all

Is there a good generic way of handling pages that need to redirect back
to their callers? If I have a page that includes, say, a link to another
page, when that other page has finished it will want to return to the page
that's called it.

Are there any recommended techniques for hanlding this sort of thing? It
could be that there might be a chain of calls to many pages.

Thanks
Kev

You either do it server side, in which case you need to store the data in
the session (each time a page is visisted, add it to an arraylist or
something). Or you can do it clientside with the javascript functions:

history.go(-1);
history.back();
