Using Primefaces 4.0 and JSF 2.2.

I would like to send the visitor to a page in a new window (not tab). The landing page is a jsf page called grade.xhtml

I tried:

<h:commandLink value="OK" onclick="window.open('grade.html', 'newwindow','width=300, height=300'); return false;"/>

This gets to a 404. Obviously this is all happening client side so grade.html doesn't get generated from grade.xhtml. How should I do?

Note: if I put onclick="window.open('grade.xhtml', 'newwindow','width=300, height=300'); return false;" then the page does open, but it is the jsf (xhtml code) not html version that shows up.

try this:

<h:commandLink value="OK" action="grade.xhtml" target="_blank"/>

Look an example here: When i click on any link it should Open in the same New Window in JSF, Primefaces

I use javaScript for this.. Try it:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    function funcForWindowPopup()
    {
        var popup = null;
        popup = window.open("grade.xhtml", "popup", "toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,location=no,left=350,top=50,width=650, height=600");
        popup.openerFormId = "formID";
        popup.focus();
    }

</script>

You can change parameters as you need;)

  • Thx! Still, this redirects to the jsf version of grade.xhtml (the one with all jsf tags), not the html version. I checked that the simple '' works fine. I can't see what's wrong here... – seinecle Apr 10 '14 at 12:11

Open the URL in new window from JSF controller.

HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
            HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
            String uri = req.getRequestURI();
            res.getWriter().println("<script>window.open('" + myUrl + "','_blank', 'location=yes,height=600,width=800,scrollbars=yes,status=yes'); window.parent.location.href= '"+uri+"';</script>");
            FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();
