Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

We have a page with link of line items. Currently if we click the particular link the detailed page for link clicked will be shown in the same window after performing action(action does DB call and populates value for detail page). In this implementation we have defined managed bean in session scope.

Now we want to implement, to open a new popup for each link in the page rather than in the same window. So for the each link click, action should be called and details should be populated in the new window.

My question here is, Is there any simpleway with out changing scope of managed bean from session to request. My thought was if we open a new window(popup) for each link, it should be in request. Because it should be populated with different values. But our project is very big project, If I change existing session scope to request impact will be much higher. Is there any simple and elegant solutions.

Thanks in advance.-
