[Tobago] opening a new broswer and the original IE broswer lost session

[Wong, Emmanuel \(Sam\)]

Hi:
        I am using the IE browser.  I create a print button to open a
new browser to print, then I tried to submit a record form the original
browser, but nothing got submitted.  When I click on other tab, I got
session timeout.  It seems the FaceContext was lost.  I would need to
refresh the browser in order to get back the FaceContext object back.
Could anyone tell me how to open a new browser and the FaceContext will
not lost from the original browser?  Or is this a bug for Tobago?
Thanks.

I am using this suggestion below:
JSP
  ...
  <tc:script onload="showPrintResult('#{printController.printFile}')">
    // Everytime the page is loaded, check for an existing PDF file to
display
    function showPrintResult(url) {
      if (url != null && url != "") {
        window.open(url, "Print");
      }
    }
  </tc:script>
  ...
  <tc:button label="Print" id="printButton"
    action="#{printController.printAction}"/>
  ...

PrintController
  
  public void printAction() {
    // Generate PDF file
    ...
    // Set PDF file
    printFile = "http://localhost:8080/gena/print/test.pdf";
<http://localhost:8080/gena/print/test.pdf%22> ;;
  }

  public String getPrintFile() {
    // Return and reset PDF file 
    String tmp = printFile;
    printFile = null;
    return tmp;
  }
