Gladly, this is not true. Just use the target attribute. You can even
make a commandButton open in a new window, by wrapping it in a
commandLink. Here's some working code from my actual application:
<h:commandLink id="showReportButton"
action="#{trialBalanceForm.prepareReport}" target="_blank">
<h:commandButton value="Create Report" styleClass="styleFont
styleLabel"/>
</h:commandLink>

Hi,
I need the best of command link and output link...ie execute an action
and open a window.
AFAIK, the outputLink can open a new window on click but can't support
actions. And the commandLink on the other hand
can support actions but can't open windows.
What I really need is both. So, when u click a link it executes an
operation on a managed bean and the result of that is
included in the new window.
Much appreciated, TIA.
