Using Javascript to open a window

[ibstmt]

In our old JSF application, we had menu items to run reports. The reports would open up in a second browser window. We had Java code to format the URL:

public void runReport(String reportName) {
        String url = getReportURL(reportName); // format the URL needed to call the report server to run the report
        try {
            FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            String javaScriptText = "window.open('" + url + "', 'popupWindow', 'dependent=yes, menubar=yes, toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes');";
            // Add the Javascript to the rendered page's header for immediate execution
            AddResource addResource = AddResourceFactory.getInstance(facesContext);
            addResource.addInlineScriptAtPosition(facesContext, AddResource.HEADER_BEGIN, javaScriptText);
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
    }

In our RichFaces application, I want to create a menu item to do something similar. However, things like AddResource are part of the org.apache.myfaces.renderkit package, and are not available here. How can I do something similar with a RichFaces menu item? The menu item would simply have to pass the name of the report, and the method call would do the rest.

you could try oncomplete handler of menuItem. oncomplete allow's EL expressions so you could point it to javaScriptText and it will be called after request complete.
