I would open the new javascript window by calling an action like:
window.open("/app/report/Search.do?parameterXY=foo" ....
The action could perform your search with the corresponding parameters. To
have dynamic values in the javascript you can always use your form bean eg.
window.open('/app/report/Search.do?parameterXY=<bean:write name="searchForm"
property="searchStuff" />','myWindow','toolbar=none')
Good night ;-)
