Geeta, thanks for your reply, I’ve solved using the following approach:
<h:commandLink
id="dTSearch" styleClass="aSearch" onclick="window.open('DocumentTypes.faces','','width=200,height=300,top=100,left=100')">
<h:outputText
value="Find DocType"/>
<f:param
name="activeFolder" value="#{documentBean.activeFolderName}"/>
</h:commandLink>
The problem I’m having is that when
a link is clicked in the new window with some value, I want that value to fill
up an h:inputText in the
main page which called the new window.
In the new window I’m doing
something like this:
<h:commandLink
immediate="true" action="" class=SpellE>documentHandler.selectDocumentType}"
onclick="_javascript_:window.close();">
<h:outputText value="#{node.description}"
styleClass="nodeFolder"/>
<h:outputText value=" (#{node.childCount})"
styleClass="childCount"
rendered="#{!empty node.children}"/>
<f:param name="selectedDocType" value="#{node.description}"/>
</h:commandLink>
and in the documentHandler.selectDocumentType
I’m setting the value in the property bound to the h:inputText
, but the main page is never refreshed so the change is not made.
Did you have a similar problem?
Thanks a lot
Matias

Hi Matias,
I do some of
what you are describing. Here's my code (and I have tried to simplify it for
clarity):
My
"nextAssignment.jsp" has:
<h:commandLink rendered="#{worklist$nextAssignmentHome1.currentActivityInAgentsSwimLane}"
action="#{worklist$nextAssignmentHome1.acceptAssignment}"
immediate="true">
<h:outputText
value="#{rowIndexVariable+1}. #{assignment.urlDisplay}" />
</h:commandLink>
My
backing bean (corresponding to #{worklist$nextAssignmentHome1)
does its work in acceptAssignment() method and returns a String
"twowindows" which is mapped to a jsp (via tiles etc.) to a jsp with
this code:
<script language="_javascript_" type="text/_javascript_">

}

var cval

</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="popUpAssessment(assessmentWindowUrl)";>
etc.
Hope
this helps you towards a solution to your problem.

Geeta
