How can I open a JSF page as a non modal dialog

Hi,

<b>I am trying to open a new jsf page with following code</b>

<code>FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ViewHandler vh = context.getApplication().getViewHandler();
UIViewRoot dialog = vh.createView(context, "/pages/report1.xhtml");

AdfFacesContext a = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HashMap props = new HashMap();
HashMap params = new HashMap();

System.out.println("--here---");

// just a try, component is nothing by a CoreCommandLink of adf
component.getAttributes().put("target", "_new");

params.put("str", str);

props.put("width", 500);
props.put("height", 700);
a.launchDialog(dialog, params, component, true, props);</code>

above code opens page in new window, but the parent window is now not accessible unless you close the newly opened window

please help if I am missing anything

Thank you,
san_sim

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

You can use window.open() javascript function to open another window.

Welcome to JavaRanch!

We're pleased to have you here with us here on the ranch, but there are a few rules that need to be followed, and one is that proper names are required. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious. Initials are OK for the first and middle names but not the last. You can change it here

I'd provide info, but not until you fix your display name.

I have already update my display name to "S Giri"
