Handling RAW HTML in Seam?

[paulmkeogh]

Hi,

I have a seam component that uses HTTPClient to retrieve a web page. This works fine and I can display the return HTML string using a h:outputText element.

Can someone tell me (or point me at) how to open a new window/frame to display the returned page ? This sounds simple to me, but I cannot find any references or samples on how to do it.

Thanks,

How about something like this.

In the page that opens up the new page:

<h:outputLink value="/showContent.jsf" target="_blank">
<f:param name="param" value="#{someBean.someValue}"/>
</h:outputLink>

The backing bean behind the showContent.jsf page :

@Name("showContentBacking")
@Scope(ScopeType.EVENT)
public class ShowContentBacking .... {

@RequestParameter("param")
String reqParam;

private String htmlString;

@Create
public void init(){

    htmlString = //HttpClient call using the reqParam

}
 
// getters and setters
}

Then just create a showContent.xhtml page which gets the htmlString from the event scoped backing bean.

Just typed the stuff in here so there are probably loads of errors.

cheers,
Micke
