Share Object between popup and main window.No session Scope, maybe using Flash?

Hello,

I have already done this question in Oracle forums, but still I have not a response. You can see the thread here https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2378190&tstart=0.
I am trying to share information between one view to a new window opened as popup. I am trying to use flash to share information, currently I don't know if flash can be used for this. This is my question asked in Oracle forums:

I am trying pass a java object to a popup window after a jsf ajax request. When the user clicks on a h:command button, the application does an ajax request. In an actionListener method of a session scope managed bean I create a big object with data. When the ajax request returns to the client, I am opening a popup window to show the data of the object created in the previous action listener method.

I don't want save the object in the session and I cannot use the object like a request managed bean, because the ajax request finish before than the popup is opened, and the popup is opened in a different page and a Request Scope bean it is not available in the new request.

I thing that I cannot use a View Scope bean to save the object, because the popup is a different view. I cannot use view params because I need a converter to transform the object created in String properies and the object has many properties. Now I am trying to pass the data from the main window to the popup using the flash scope. But I cannot do a sample page to pass data between a main window and a new page opened in a popup.

Look at the next sample:

index.xhtml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"> <h:head> <title>Facelets Template</title> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ function complete(data){ if ( data.status == 'success'){ window.open('#{request.contextPath}/faces/popupwindow.xhtml','TEST POPUP','status=no,toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,resizable,width=1008,height=690,scrollbars,left=100,top=50'); } } //]]> </script> </h:head> <h:body> <h:form id="main" prependId="false"> <h:commandButton id="test" value="test"> <f:ajax event="click" listener="#{controlledBean.actionTest}" onevent="complete" /> </h:commandButton> </h:form> </h:body> </html>

ControlledBean.java:
import javax.annotation.ManagedBean; import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped; import javax.faces.context.FacesContext; import javax.faces.context.Flash; import javax.faces.event.AjaxBehaviorEvent; @ManagedBean @SessionScoped public class ControlledBean { public void actionTest(AjaxBehaviorEvent ae) { Flash flash = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getFlash(); RequestBean request = new RequestBean(); request.setSelected("Value created in ActionTest"); flash.put("passedObject", request); flash.keep("passedObject"); } }

popupwindow.xhtml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"> <h:head> <title>TODO supply a title</title> </h:head> <h:body> <h:inputText id="result" value="#{flash.passedObject.selected}" /> </h:body> </html>

RequestBean.java is a simple POJO
public class RequestBean { private String selected; public String getSelected() { return selected; } public void setSelected(String selected) { this.selected = selected; } }

At the end the input "result" in popupwindow.xhtml shows nothing, I am trying to see in this input the value "Value created in ActionTest". Any help, tip, sugestion?

Thanks for your time.
