passing values from jsf to popup

Hi All,
I have a JSF which contains 1 link ..on clicking that link...popup window should open and some values which are present on main jsf need to be sent to popup window.

Please suggest me the way for that.

thanks in advance

Write a normal JSF forward method to transfer data to the page bean of the pop-up page and return the mapping forward to the pop-up page (Till this point the code should be a complete one to open the page in the same window)

to open the popup use javascript function given below. Call the function in the onmousedown method of the link, popUpScreen('viewbase',this).

The first parameter is just a unique string.

function popUpScreen(targetScreenName,hyperlinkObject) {
newwindow = window.open('',targetScreenName, "height=450,width=650");
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
document.forms[0].target = targetScreenName;
hyperlinkObject.onclick();
document.forms[0].target = "";
}

To pass values to popup screen you have to follow the traditional way of sending through query string as part of the url.

You can use FacesContext.getRequestParamMap().get("RequestKey"); to fetch the query string value.
