Calling javascript function within a uix event

Question

JDeveloper Version: 9.0.3
Technology: UIX
Goal: To gracefully log out of a database connection, invalidate session, and close browser.
Currently I have a logout.uix page that contains a cancel and logout button. The cancel button redirects the user to the calling page. The logout button fires a logout event that in turn calls a servlet method that closes the user's database connection and invalidates the session.
Question: Upon returning to the logout.uix page, how do I call the self.close() javascript function that will force the user to close the browser?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

yes, I think it can be achieved. Something like this should suffice
<button text="Log Out" onClick="script that closes the window" >
                        <primaryClientAction>
                        <fireAction event="YourEvent goeshere" formSubmitted="true">
                          <parameters>
                            <parameter key="Session" value="closeSession"/>
                          </parameters>
                        </fireAction>
                      </primaryClientAction>
                    </button>in the event handler you should register the event that you would specify above.
<handlers>
    <event name="YourEvent goeshere" >
      <method class="com.test.ConnectionInvalidate" method="closeConnection" />
    </event>
  </handlers>In your class the method would be like this
public class ConnectionInvalidate {
public static EventResult closeConnection( BajaContext context,
                                                Page page,
                                                PageEvent event )
                                                throws Throwable
//from the event get the parameters. (if required)
// code here for the close of connection
}When you click the button called "Log Out" the event is fired which closes the connection and javascript is also called which closes the window. Both will happen simultaneously.
hope this helps.
