If you are using remotecommand then you can do like this

And my javascript:

ServerSide action method:

public String onPageLoadForNewTab(){
    HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest(); String url = req.getRequestURL().toString();
        url=(url.substring(0, url.length() - req.getRequestURI().length()) + req.getContextPath() + "/"); url=url+navigationpagename+".jsf"; RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().
        execute("window.open('"+url+"','_blank')");** 
    return ""; }
