GWT: onBack and onForward "history handlers"

Question

Does GWT provide any way to define click handlers for when the user clicks the back/forward browser buttons? If so, how could I define such handlers? If not, why?

No, You cannot do that with GWT. However, you may use the History Token to manage the URL changes

Thanks @dhamibirendra (+1) - is it possible to do in JSNI/pure JavaScript? Why isn't it possible to do in GWT (and do you have any links to GWT docs that confirms this)? Thanks again! – IAmYourFaja Jan 04 '14 at 15:25
