My solution works that way:

<rich:tabPanel>
 <rich:tabs label="#{item.label}" value="#{bean.items}" var="item">
 ...
 </rich:tabs>
</rich:tabPanel>

I create new comonent UITabs (extends UITab), and modify (just a little) only 3 classes:

- TabPanelRendererBase (change activeTab to activeTabName, because it is better to recognize tab by name for the UITabs component)
- TabRendererBase (encode UITabs in specific way)
- UITabPanel (trick with TabsIterator)

and of course tabPanel.xml (add tabs component)

I prepare patches, tabPanelUITabs.jar and tabPanelDemoUITabs.war and sources. The solution work even if we have table inside UITabs with inputs (see attached war) .
