Remember the selected tab?

[kingcu]

Hi,

I have a page with 3 rich:tabs and on the same page, there are some links/buttons that navigate to other pages. How can I have the page remember which tab was selected before when navigation comes back to the page? Any idea?

Thanks,
Tong

The following code show the second tab when page is rendered (re-rendered):

<rich:tabPanel selectedTab="t2">
 <rich:tab label="tab 1" name="t1">
 <h:outputText value="tab 1" />
 </rich:tab>
 <rich:tab label="tab 1" name="t2">
 <h:outputText value="tab 2" />
 </rich:tab>
 <rich:tab label="tab 1" name="t3">
 <h:outputText value="tab 3" />
 </rich:tab>
</rich:tabPanel>

So, you can use EL for selectedTab attribute to point to the tab that should be active.

Can you please elaborate on the EL part? I am using JBoss Seam and all the navigation is configured in the xxxx.page.xml, not sure how to pass a parameter around and then reference it. Thanks.

JBoss Seam is not an area of my expertise yet. If remember correctly, you can make initialization for bean properties right in the xxxx.page.xml file.
