In addition to BalusC answer. Kind of hacky solution in situation when:

  • commandLink cannot be used in UI (because of page styling or any other reason)

  • target of the form cannot be changed

    <!-- Group and render them together.-->
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{mybean.showButton}">

<!-- Visible and clickable commandButton. No action, just onclick js event.-->
<h:commandButton value="My Commandbutton"
onclick="document.getElementById('myForm.realTargetBlankLink').click();"/>

<!-- Invisible link. Action, target _blank.-->
<h:commandLink id="realTargetBlankLink" action="#{myBean.myDesiredAction}"
target="_blank"/>

</h:panelGroup>

Set target="_blank" on the <h:commandLink> or <h:form>.

E.g.

<h:form>
    <h:commandLink value="Open in new window" action="#{bean.action}" target="_blank" />
</h:form>

or

<h:form target="_blank">
    <h:commandButton value="Open in new window" action="#{bean.action}" />
</h:form>
