Answer 1

hi,
That command link in data table. The requirement is like this:
I have datatable, the columns are
1) <h:selectBooleanCheckbox ....
2) <h:commandLink ....
requirement 1:
if user select the boolean check box and click the command link
then I want to execute the backing bean action method , it returns string url and show in new browser window( popup window with toolbar ).
requirement 2:
if user not select the boolean check box and click the command link then I want to excute the backing bean action method, it returns string url and show in the same browser ( through navigation rule we can show that page.)
Please look the below command link code.......
<h:commandLink id="belegnr" onmousedown="return showPopupWindowForInvoiceForGraphicImage( '#{row.importKz}', '#{row.blnChecked}', '#{InvoiceMecBoxBean.printInvoiceFilePath}');" styleClass="input" style="color:blue" value="#{row.belegnr}" action="#{InvoiceMecBoxBean.editLinkAction}"/>
Can u please give me the idea istead of command link can we use outputlink to fullfil the requirement?. Or any suggestion please......
Here in my case commandlink value is differenet and after action the return value is different to show in new window. that is problem here.
thanks & regards
