Primefaces RequestContext under 7.0

Question

My pre-7.0 Primefaces application has this code:

RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().execute("window.open('myUrl');");

I understand that RequestContext is no longer available in 7.0. What is the equivalent to perform the same action?

In PF 6.2 all these calls are deprecated with appropriate hint. – Antoinetteanton

Its all in the migration guide: github.com/primefaces/primefaces/wiki/Migration-Guide – Satan

Answer 1

Beside other changes the RequestContext class has been deprecated in version 6.2 and removed in version 7.0 of Primefaces. It is replaced by calling PrimeFaces.current(). In your case, the code should be changed to:

PrimeFaces.current().executeScript("window.open('myUrl');");

Please keep looking into the migration guide (already linked by @Melloware in comment) when upgrading your Primefaces dependency.

Maybe add some text as well, e.g. from your comment – Randolph

@Randolph Why text? Just kidding - planned so too and hoped to find a PF 'migration guide' I can refer to but I could not manage to open the docs on mobile yet. But on the first go I wanted to send a hello to the VLQQ ;D – Antoinetteanton
