getting outputText value from getViewRoot

Hi guys,

well I am on page2 and I m trying to retrieve the value of a outputText component(of page1) using function which takes arguments

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot(), "componentName"

As I m on a different page therefore it is giving null pointer exception. Does anybody know that how I can get the value of outputText component(using its ID) from different page.

Anyother workarounds would also be appreciated.

Regards,

Arsalan

You should store the value in session. Then you can access it from any page in the same session. Or acces it by the backing bean. Check http://balusc.xs4all.nl/srv/dev-jep-com.html for some insights and examples.

Thanks Balus! the given site is really good in that regard.

but I have still a little issue that I want to open a new tab using outputLink. I have tried '_blank' and '_new' in the target but a new window is opening not a new tab in the same window

Any idea about how to open just a new tab?

You're talking about tabs in FF and IE7? This is a pure browser setting.

This is a browser setting. You cannot change it from server as well as client side stuff.
