issue with dynamic tabs

[rajevar]

Hi,

I have this code for adding tabs dynamically and its working good.

 <c:forEach items="#{rmaJobHandlerBean.currentJob.serialList}"
 var="serial">
 <rich:tab label="#{serial.serialNumber == null ?
 'New' : serial.serialNumber }" styleClass="myTabPane"
 labelWidth="#{fadbUtil.labelWidth}" >

I have a button to add new Tabs and in the action event i will add a new object to the Serial List which will get reflected as new tab in TabPanel

My issues are

1) i want the newly added tab to be the selected one. I tried different ways but all in vain. i dont want to make it too complicated by adding a phaseListener. Anyone has faced this issue , any suggestions/help ?

2) if i keep on adding new tabs ( suppose i added 20 tabs dynamically ), tabs are displaying off the page. is it possible to display tabs in new row if it exceeds the page width or anything like that ?

Appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,
Raj

I missed first line of code in my previous post . here is the updated code

<rich:tabPanel switchType="client" styleClass="myTable" id="serialTab"
 binding="#{rmaJobHandlerBean.tabPanel}">
 <c:forEach items="#{rmaJobHandlerBean.currentJob.serialList}"
 var="serial">
 <rich:tab label="#{serial.serialNumber == null ?
 'New' : serial.serialNumber }" styleClass="myTabPane"
 labelWidth="#{fadbUtil.labelWidth}" >

1) just manage selectedTab attribute binded to some property in your actions.

2) no tabpanel doesn't provides this option. you could vote on our wiki page for the features you need.
