Calling a servlet in an ADFFaces pages

Question

Hi All,
I have this code:
    public void handleReturn(ReturnEvent returnEvent) {
        // Add event code here...
         if (returnEvent.getReturnValue() != null)
           setLongAddressType( (Long) returnEvent.getReturnValue());
           //  System.out.println("Value from the dialog box: "+getLongAddressType().toString());
           FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
           ExternalContext ectx = fctx.getExternalContext();
           try {
               ectx.redirect(((HttpServletRequest)ectx.getRequest()).getContextPath() +
                 "/selfMailerTranscript?id="+UserSystemState.retrieveUserId()+
                 "?addr="+getLongAddressType().toString() );
           catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    }I runs the servlet and displays a PDF document. What I like it to do is bring the PDF up in a new window. We've done this using an a href tag like this:
<jsf-layout:a href="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextpath}/servletNameHere" ...
I'm looking for the ExternalContext method that will open a new window instead of redirect. Anyone know what that is?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hello,
Why not open a dialog(pop up) page.
And put the code you provided in that separate dialog page?
