---------------------------------------

             Summary: Return a URL from an action opens a new browser window
                 Key: ISIS-612
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-612
             Project: Isis
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Core, Viewer: Wicket
            Reporter: Jeroen van der Wal
            Assignee: Dan Haywood
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: viewer-wicket-1.4.0, core-1.4.0


Something like this:

Class Invoice {
    ...
    public URL viewInvoice() {
        return new URL(String.format("http://reportserver/reports/invoice?invoiceNumber=%s", getInvoiceNumber));
    }
    ...
}

Suggestions from Dan:

We could either implement this into the Wicket viewer, whereby it understoods that a returned URL means for it to be opened, or we could do it through a domain service (and the Wicket viewer knows nothing about it).

To try it with the former, take a look at StandaloneValuePanel is a good place to look; you will see I do some "special" processing for handling downloads of blobs and clobs there.

The answer here [x] shows one way to do a redirect (I think I might use a different API, probably equivalent though)

The gist of the latter is to define a service, eg "UrlOpenerService", with the implementatino in the estatio-webapp whereby it has access to all of Wicket framework.
