my problem solved 1- i use 2 managed bean , one of request scope (used in attendReport.jsp ) and the other with session scope (used in printAttendReport.jsp)
2 - add new jsp contains the h:commandLink of the print (attendReportPrintAction.jsp)
3 - divide the view of attendReport.jsp to two subviews (each subview has its own form) one contains inputs and outputs of attend and the other contains include to (attendReportPrintAction.jsp)
<%@ include file="attendReportPrintAction.jsp" %>

4 - send and get parameters using two methods
{code}
public static Object getSessionMapValue(String key) {
return FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalConte xt().getSessionMap().get(key);
}


public static void setSessionMapValue(String key, Object value) {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalConte xt().getSessionMap().put(key, value);
}
{code}

faces-config.xml
{code}
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>attendReportBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>csc.attend.bean.AttendReportBean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>

{code}

i hope this helps someone

thank you Manu dv for your reply

I’ve two jsp pages attendReport.jsp and printAttendReport.jsp
attendReport.jsp contains inputs for attend duration and employee id and command button “view” to view attendance data entered employee during entered duration inside the same page(this work very good)

the problem is the same page includes another command button “print” its job is to get the same data but view them in the second page printAttendReport.jsp in another window in order to print the data in some suitable format , but the print button opens attendReport.jsp instead of printAttendReport.jsp and does not hold the inputs else if I set <managed-bean-scope> to session not request which cause caching data , please help me if you to solve this problem

and here the related lines of code
