switching tabs of rich:tabPanel programmatically

[rzymek]

Hi

I want to switch to a different tab in rich:tabPanel by pressing a button.
I tried this:

<rich:tabPanel id="tabTest" switchType="server" binding="#{tabtest.tabPanel}">
 <rich:tab id="tab1" name="tab1" label="tab1" >
 <h:commandButton action="#{tabtest.switchTab}" />
 </rich:tab>
 <rich:tab id="tab2" name="tab2" label="tab2" >
 OK
 </rich:tab>
</rich:tabPanel>

With the backing bean:

@Name("tabtest")
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
public class Tabs implements Serializable {
 private HtmlTabPanel tabPanel;

 public HtmlTabPanel getTabPanel() {
 return tabPanel;
 }

 public void setTabPanel(HtmlTabPanel tabPanel) {
 this.tabPanel = tabPanel;
 }

 public void switchTab() {
 System.out.println("Tabs.switchTab()");
 tabPanel.setSelectedTab("tab2");
 }
}

This code gives me no results.
I'm using richfaces-3.0.0, ajax4jsf-1.1.0, myfaces-1.1.4

So, how can a switch to the other tab?

I found the solution.
The setValue("tab-name") method needs to be used:

 public void switchTab() {
 tabPanel.setValue("tab2");
 }
