go for onClick javascript event and call window.open with the required URL.

Try to avoid popups. It's a question of style. Furthermore, there are popupblocker what may block your window. I hate popups. Is there really a reason not to show your result in the window you have?

I have to call the action of commandButton in new window....

I have written the following code

window.open('popup.faces', 'popupWindowName', 'dependent=yes');


<h:commandButton action="#{reportBean.execute}" styleClass="buttonN" value="#{msg.report_exportreport_btnlabel}" onclick="openNewWindow();"/>


but I want the action to performed in the newly open page.

Actions aren't performed "in" pages, they're performed "on" backing beans. Whether the page that's navigated to is in the same window or another one is a different matter. However, in my browser configuration, popup pages are either suppressed or open in invisible tabs, so design accordingly.
