Click link and open in new window + one instance of a managing bean ?

[martinvich]

Is there a recommended way how to open new browser window and send some user data from one window to original window ? I constructed quite primitive example, my main problem is that i cant access the same instance of managing bean like is in parent form. 

in parent.xhtml :

<a:commandLink value="OpenIndenpedentWindow" onclick="window.open('inAnotherWindow.seam','mywindow','width=600,height=600')">
</a:commandLink>

this is nice post :

Have you considered using Nested Conversations

[martinvich]

Yes, thats also option.

I am calling nested conversation with the help of @Begin and @End annotations.

firstScreen.xhtml :

<a:commandLink
     value="Call nested in second browser window"
     action="#{manageBean.beginNestedConv(beanInstance)}">
</a:commandLink>

firstScreen.page.xml :

<navigation from-action="#{manageBean.beginNestedConv(beanInstance)}">
         <redirect view-id="/nestedwindow.xhtml" />     
</navigation>

Where i could call javascript to open nested conversation in new browser window ?
