tabs reloading everytime

[fstof]

Hi all
I have an issue where i have a few tabs on a tabpanel it looks like this:

<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax" immediate="true" >
 <rich:tab label="My Work" id="myWork">
 <h:form id="myWorkForm">
 <a4j:region id="myWorkRegion">
 <a4j:include viewId="/pages/work/myWorkList.xhtml" />
 </a4j:region>
 </h:form>
 </rich:tab>

 <rich:tab label="Customers" id="customer">
 <h:form id="customerForm">
 <a4j:region id="customerRegion">
 <a4j:include viewId="/pages/customer/customerList.xhtml" />
 </a4j:region>
 </h:form>
 </rich:tab>
 ...
</rich:tabPanel>

now on both the includes (myWorkList.xhtml and customerList.xhtml) have datatables on them like this

<rich:dataTable id="myWorkListTable" value="#{myWorkListDTO.myWork}" var="workItem">
 <rich:column >
 <f:facet name="header"><h:outputText id="numberHead" value="Work Item Number"/></f:facet>
 <a4j:commandLink value="#{workItem.referenceNumber}" action="..."/>
 </rich:column>
 ...
</rich:dataTable>

whenever I click on the link of on of the rows on the datatable or on another tab or whatever, all the tabs get reloaded, wich means everytime someone works on the "customer" tab the "my work" tab also gets reloaded unnececary wich is quit expensive.

How do i get around this?
Thanks in advance

I am having a similar problem with the whole xhtml reloading.

In my case I have a detail screen with 2 tabs. On each tab there is a rich:dataTable, which is sortable. The sorting works fine when I am on the default tab. However, when I go to the second tab and try to sort, the entire xhtml gets reloaded and the first tab is displayed.

Currently I build my tabitems from java-code dynamicly. When the tabItemChange event fires I cleanUp the old tabitem and built the new tabitem. I put the switchType to "ajax" for the tabpanel

This works fine but now I want only the new tabitems to be inialized. When a tabitem is visited I put the switchType of that tabitem to "client". From that moment I get the same problems you describe.
