window.open（）と<a href="'> in Struts2

Question

In my struts2 application I want to open a new window when user click on a link available on jsp page.

I don’t want to user window.open() function of javascript and anchor tag i.e <s:a href=””>.

Onclick control should goto action class, after some processing there it should open a new window.

Please help if it is possible.

Well, if you don't want to use neither anchor nor window.open() (why?) your only other option is to use "target" attribute on a form and submit it:

<form name="..." method="..." action="..." target="_blank"> 

Be warned that:

1. It's deprecated in HTML 4.01 and not supported in XHTML strict.
2. That window WILL open and control will be transferred to it. You can't suddenly decide in your action that you don't want to open that window; the best you can do is try to close it.

Details on "target" attribute are hereを使用せずに新しいウィンドウを開く方法。もう一度、window.open（）と<a href="..." target="...">の両方がより良い解決策のように見えます - なぜあなたはそれらを使用することに反対ですか？
