Page navigation with Seam

[phread]

Hi,

I'm developping an application using Facelets + Seam 2.0.1GA + RF 3.1.4.GA.

We have tabs defined in a template

<rich:tabPanel selectedTab="#{navigation.selectedTab}">
 <rich:tab label="tab1" name="subpage1">
 <ui:insert name="subpage1"/>
 </rich:tab>
 <rich:tab label="tab2" name="subpage2">
 <ui:insert name="subpage2"/>
 </rich:tab>
 ...
<rich:tabPanel>

Each subpage extends that template and defines its element subpage#.

Is there a way to get direct links to the pages on the tabs, without having to implement an action rendering the view name?
i.e. instead of writing

action="#{controller.goToSubPage2()}"

I'd prefer something like

action="subpage2"
or
action="subpage2.seam"
or
action="subpage2.xhtml"

In fact the same thing applies when using <rich:panelMenuItem>

Regards

Fred B.

You mean that your action changes the current tab to another using selectedTab="#{navigation.selectedTab}" property change?
In this case you should develop the methods for sure.

I've found a satisfying solution :

<rich:tabPanel selectedTab="#{navigation.selectedTab}">
 <rich:tab label="tab1" name="subpage1" action="/subpage1">
 <ui:insert name="subpage1"/>
 </rich:tab>
 <rich:tab label="tab2" name="subpage2" action="/subpage2">
 <ui:insert name="subpage2"/>
 </rich:tab>
 ...
<rich:tabPanel>

and in seam's pages.xml I added for each view :

<action execute="#{navigation.setSelectedTab('subpage2')}"/>
