Howto not go to another tab even though that tab is clicked?

[dxxvi]

I have a rich:tabPanel. On each tab, there are some fields. This is the requirement:

when user clicks on another tab, if the fields in the current tab don't pass some business validation, the user is still in the current tab (not go to the new one).

Is that doable? If yes, could I have some hints?

Hi,

Tab panel behaves in that way by default - try:

<h:form>
 <rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax">
 <rich:tab label="1"><h:inputText required="true" /></rich:tab>
 <rich:tab label="2"></rich:tab>
 </rich:tabPanel>
 </h:form>

- go to the second tab with or without text present in input
