Keeping the bean in request scope in Tab panel

[pmohanan]

Hi...,

We are using the tab panels which include 3 pages. (i.e 3 tabs). The user can move from any tab to any tab by completing the forms. We have a JSF backing bean which is set to request scope. The 3rd page (or tab) is the consolidated information from tab 1 & 2.

The question I have is, how do I make the tabs follow the "Request" scope so that I don't loose the bean information when moving from one tab to another.

Regards,

Praveen

I tried to use A4j:Keep Alive Tag but when i put this tag it shows me popup dialog saying

" View state couldnt be restore - reload page?"

and if i click on yes then it refresh the page it is not doing any validation or not even setting properties of the bean.

I have included page in rich:tabPabel like

<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax" >
 <rich:tab label="Page 1">
 <a4j:include viewId="page1.jsp"></a4j:include>
 </rich:tab>

 <rich:tab label="Summary of Page 1">
 <a4j:include viewId="../summary/SummaryOfPage1.jsp"></a4j:include>
 </rich:tab>
 </rich:tabPanel>

and in page 1 i have

<f:subview id="..">
..
<a4j:keepAlive ajaxOnly="false" beanName="someBean"/>
..
.
.
</f:subview>

Can any one please help me how can i solve this issue?

Thanks
Mitesh
