Hi,
you cannot invoke the showPopupBehavior component action programatically. Instead, to programatically launch a popup, you use client side JavaScript as explained in the WebDeveloper guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/index.htm . Note that the JavaScript can be launched from a managed bean
