I have tried:

Answer 1

In AngularJS2 I found a new way, maybe is just the same thing but in this new version :

import {Router, RouteConfig, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, Location} from 'angular2/router'; 

(...)

constructor(private _router: Router, private _location: Location) {}

onSubmit() {
    (...)
    self._location.back();
}

After my function, I can see that my application is going to the previous page usgin location from angular2/router.
