Put the following in the superclass for your components:

   private String anchor;
  
   public void appendToResponse(WOResponse response, WOContext context) {
      if (anchor != null) {
         response.setHeader(context.componentActionURL() + "#" + anchor, "location");
         response.setHeader("text/html", "content-type");
         response.setHeader("0", "content-length");
         response.setStatus(302);
         anchor = null;
      } else {
         super.appendToResponse(response, context);
      }
    }  appendToResponse

    public String getAnchor() {

        return anchor;
    }
 
    public void setAnchor(String s) {
        anchor = s;
    }

In the component where we want to use an anchor you just put in

  <a name="myanchor"></a>

and something like the following in the code where we want to jump to this anchor:

   protected WOComponent doSometingAndJumpToAnchor() {
      do something emoticon_smile
      setAnchor("myanchor");
      return null;
  }
