one way could be to put an element with a rendered attribute, which
points to a boolean method in your bean... have the boolean method
execute what you want...
hope this helps!

Hi,
I´m new to JSF and I can´t figure out how to do this:
I want to open a jsf page in a pop up from another jsf and call a
method from a bean before the pop-up page is rendered.
I tried to open the pop-up with commandButton (with onclick) and
put the method in the actionListener property but in order to get
the event I think the form must be submitted so the parent page
reloads itself and the pop up window is rendered before the event
is handled so the effects of the method cant be seen in the popup.
I tried to set the type of the button to "button" (instead of
submit) but in this way the event is never fired.
I can't put the method call in the bean constructor either because
is a session bean.
So is there any way to get the method executed before the pop up is
rendered and without reloading the first page?
Thank you.
P.S. Sorry for my crappy English :S
