How to pop up a browser window from a managed bean?

Question

I have a user case like this:
User login our home website. He/she clicks a button. Control flow goes to a managed bean (MB here after) to check some conditions. If conditions are met, instead of sending the user back to the home page, the user will be presented a new web site (e.g. forums.oracle.com) in a popup window on top of our home site.
Can we invoke a website in a adf popup? If so, how to do that? If not, any idea on how to develop this use case?
Any idea is appreciated.

Sorry, I have updated the previous reply with the required inputs.
For convenience, putting it again;
if you need to check for some condition and then invoke the browser, you could use the following code in your managed bean for af:commandButton for Action.
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.render.ExtendedRenderKitService;
import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.util.Service;
public class TestURLPageBean {
public TestURLPageBean() {
super();
public String onClick() {
*// Check for the condition here and invoke the browser only if it is true*
if (true) {
ExtendedRenderKitService erks =
(ExtendedRenderKitService)Service.getRenderKitService(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),
ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
script.append("window.open('http://www.google.com');");
erks.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),
script.toString());
return null;
