How to open a new browser window in struts

Hi,

I am new to Struts.

I am having a form where in the user can enter the search criteria and
click the submit .
We need to  show the search results in a new window as popup.

If I use actionMapping.findForward() in the perform method of Action
class it shows the results in the same window.How can I  display the
results in the new window.????

Can anyone pull me out from this problem?????

Thanks in advance,
Yugandhar

You can set the target of the form to be a new window.  The browser will
then be responsible for
loading the resulting page into a new window.

HTH,

In the form where you put your search criteria use the 'target' attribute.

Something like:
            <html:form action="/search"  target="_new">

In 'target' you are supposed to tell the form to which frame it will be
forwarded, but if you set the target to a non-existent frame, it'll open a
new window.

Hope this helps :)
