suggestion for commandButton

Sometimes we want do something and navigate to an othor page in new page.So we need "target" attribute for commandButton. We really hope you to think about it.

Hi,

Did you really understand how JSF navigation work? Use "action" attribute of commandButton for navigation. Return value of action defines your navigation case.

Sorry!
I do use "action" attribute of commandButton for navigation, return value of action defines your navigation case.But I want open the target view in new window.

You can always try to mix in some JavaScript. Here is something that might wotk. I didn't try it.

Code: Select all

<p:commandButton ...
  oncomplete="window.open('#{request.contextPath}/faces/newPage.xhtml')"/>

Use p:button for get based navigations.

I know this thread is a little old but I was having the same problem. My solution is below in case it helps anyone. Setting target="_blank" on the form will open a new window with p:commandButton.

Code: Select all

 <h:form target="_blank">  
               <p:commandButton value="Run Report" action="#{reportBean.runReport}" ajax="false" />
            </h:form>
