Use hyperlink to open another page , and pass some parameters to that page

Question

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
How i can use hyperlink to open another jsp file in a new window meanwhile pass some parameters to it.
for example i need something like this :
http://127.0.0.1:8080/myProj/faces/Viewmessage.jsp?messageID=10
i can not use session bean because i must open that in a new window and use hyperlink not Action
Thank you

I tried the following in the equivalent of your Viewmessage (page bean):
        ExternalContext eContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
        String text = "Parameters: ";
        Iterator it = eContext.getRequestParameterNames();
        Map requestParams = eContext.getRequestParameterMap();
        while (it.hasNext()) {
            String key = (String)it.next();
            String value = (String)requestParams.get(key);
            text += "; " + key + " = " + value;
        staticText1.setText(text);That works as expected when you reach that new page via a hyper link.
The session object is also the same as in your `old' window. So be careful about synchronization!
I hope this helps.
