How to redirect from Java Bean to a new window or tab.

[sandy4you]

Hi All,

I have a h:commandButton from where a action in the bean is callled and then I'm setting the external URL which I want to open like this:

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect("http://www.google.com");

When the Action is complete i.e response is completed, the mentioned URL opens up but in the same window. I want to open it in a new window/tab.

I also tried putting target="_Blank" to the h:commanButton but it did not work.

Any suggestion.

Regards,

Sandy

Try adding like ,

<h:commandLink value="View" id="viewID1"

                actionListener="#{docLibraryHome.loadViewImageListener}"

                target="_blank" type="submit" style="text-decoration: none"/>

Here actionListener will do the backing bean process and it will open in new window.

you can also use ajax for it.
