response.setDateHeader("Expires", -1);

I used this code in a JSP script. I am facing a problem. I navigated from this page (say Page 1) to another page (say
Page 2).
Then, I tried to use the back button of Page 2 to get back to Page 1. The Page 1 appeared.
But if this code is meant to disable browser caching, Page 2 shouldn't have appeared?
Can anyone tell me exactly what disabling browser caching means?
