tabPanel: setting immediate=true breaks commandButton inside

[alexdl]

Hi All,

I am setting the immediate attribute of tabPanel to true because I want to be able to change tabs without invoking the validation phase. I notice that when I do that the commandButtons that I have inside the tabs stop working. For example:

Given the following tabPanel

<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax" immediate="true">
 <rich:tab name="tab1" label="Tab 1">
 <h:commandButton action="#{myBean.sayHello}" value="Submit" />
 </rich:tab>
</rich:tabPanel>

And the Bean :

public class MyBean {
 public String sayHello(){
 System.out.println("hello");
 return null;
 }
}

The sayHello method is not called unless I remove the immediate attribute of the tabPanel.

I may be misinterpreting the semantics of the immediate attribute, so I am not sure if this is the expected behavior or if it is a little bug :)

Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex,

I had the same problem. However, action gets executed during the second postback. Using activeItem attribute solves the problem.

{code}
<rich:tabPanel immediate="true" activeItem="_0" ...>
<rich:tab id="_0"...>
...
{code}
