tabPanel and ajax pagination

[john_hedden]

Ive got a tabPanel with 2 tabs:

<rich:tabPanel id="tabs" switchType="ajax" selectedTab="#{navController.selectedTab}">

 <rich:tab id="orderTab" name="orderTab" label="#{order.isNewOrder() ? 'Create Order' : 'Order Details'}">
 <a:include viewId="/order/order.xhtml" />
 </rich:tab>
 <rich:tab id="envTab" name="envTab" label="Env.">
 <a:include viewId="/env/environments.xhtml" />
 </rich:tab>

</rich:tabPanel>

In the "envTab" Ive got some ajax pagination going on via <a:commandButton>. Once I start going through the pagination I would like to be able to click on the "envTab" , which I am already on, and reRender the original <a:include> which would be /env/environments.xhtml.

I tried adding <a:support> to the tab itself but that only seems to work when I leave the tab and then come back, not when I am already on it.

Anyone have any ideas?

The current tab is designed to be non-clickable.
Are you sure the real user will understand that she have to click on the tab she is already on?
If I were you I will put the "refresh" link or picture somewhere on the top of the tab content to make this feature clear.
