Issue closing window

Question

hi friends,
I have created a WD Java application for a UWL work item. The application opens in a popup window. I want to close the window once the action is performed in the window. From the other related threads I learn that the usual approach is to have a HTML with a javascript code to close the window and assign this as a source to an iFrame. This doesnt work for me. Could be because it runs in a portal environment. I dont know. Is it possible to open a child window from here and get the instance of the parent window?
Prompt replies would be rewarded. Thanks in advance.
Nathan.

Hi Nathan,
Create a context attribute of type IWDWindow in component controller.
When you want to open the window
IWDWindowInfo windowInfo =(IWDWindowInfo) wdComponentAPI
          .getComponentInfo().findInWindows("DetailsWindow");
IWDWindow window =wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager()
.createModalWindow(windowInfo);
wdThis.wdGetUrController().wdGetContext().currentContextElement()
                    .setWindowInstance(window);
To close the window after action is performed ,call the below code
IWDWindow window = wdThis.wdUrController().wdGetContext().currentContextElement().getWindowInstance();
window.destroyInstance();
I hope this solves your problem.
