Maybe if you explain what are you trying to achieve we could give you sugesstion or something. Other than that i don't see a reason why would you do that.

No it's not. Page expiration is a client-side thing, not a server thing. Ask over in the HTML forum!

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.

You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

It could be combined server-side/client-side.

If you have a controlling servlet, and use a session variable, the session would contain "currentPage=" and if someone tried to re-request a page that is lower than currentPage, they get booted back to where they should.

This is all assuming that on the client-side, the HTML specifies no caching, and assumes your browser will listen to this.

Their achilles heel is the noogie! Give them noogies tiny ad!
