RichFaces Tabpanel Navigation

[jucobb2]

Is it possible to use a Tabpanel for use in navigation. I want the individual tabs in the tabpanel to link to a page. I haven't seen anywhere where this is possible. And I don't even know if it is a good idea to setup navigation in this matter.

Yes under the server switchType - you may use tabPanel for navigation. just specify action and return outcome you need. To control the tab that will be selected on the new page - use selectedTab attribute on the tab panel with EL binding to the model value.

Ok. I am fairly new to RichFaces. For the action I set that on the individual rich:tab components? And how does that action parameter. Is there nowhere that I just sent the desired page to use?

you may set action on the tab as for standard button component there is nothing new if you've used JSF before.

The set switchType on the tabPanel to server

register outcome you set in action - in faces config

and new page will be called on submit.

Right, that makes sense. Thanks
