Redirect, open web page

Question

Hi,
I'm using JSF ADF BC, I just need to know how to open some web page from backing bean and target = _blank. I have a button and this is code from backing bean:
public String doSomething() {
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("doSomething");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("inputVariable","Something");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
String temp = (String)result;
String[] data = temp.split(":");
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application app = context.getApplication();
ValueBinding vb1 = app.createValueBinding("#{valueHolder.orderID}");
vb1.setValue(context,data[1]);
FacesMessage fm = new FacesMessage();
fm.setSeverity(fm.SEVERITY_INFO);
fm.setSummary("" + data[0]);
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, fm);
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
return null;
try{
ExternalContext exContext = context.getExternalContext();
exContext.redirect("http://bla.bla.bla:15101/xmlpserver/blabla.xdo?orderID=#{valueHolder.orderID}");
// I JUST WANT TO OPEN THIS IN ANOTHER WINDOW (target = _blank) PLEASE HELP, HOW CAN I DO THIS
}catch
(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
context.responseComplete();
return null;
Thanks in advance,
Tomislav

Hi Frank,
I'm aware of goLink button, but go link button cannot have any action associated, and I need to perform some action (method from appModule) and after completion open xml publisher in another tab or window to print document which was generated. Is there a way to achieve this, I dont know how to fire goLink from backing bean, thanks for your help.
