I have created a web application and deployed it in tomcat7. This app works in the following way: User logs in through proper authentication and then a test page(html) is displayed where user selects answers and submits the test. After submitting another serverlet is called where score is displayed to the user.

The problem here is once after getting the score if the user goes back(through browser back button) and submits the test again,the score is being altered.What shall i do to prevent this?

This has nothing to do with tomcat.
