set value by event ontabenter (like actionparam)

[nimo22]

I have this:

<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax" selectedTab="#{thisTab}">

<rich:tab id="tab1" name="Tab1">
..
</rich:tab>

<rich:tab id="tab2" name="Tab2">
<s:link view="/otherPage.xhtml" value="Other Page"/>
</rich:tab>

</rich:tabPanel>

The default value of #{thisTab} is tab1.

I want, that when I click the tab2, then my value #{thisTab} should change to tab2.

This works:

<rich:tab id="tab2" name="Tab2">
<s:link view="/otherPage.xhtml" value="Other Page">
<a4j:actionparam name="setTab" value="tab2" assignTo="#{thisTab}"/>
</rich:tab>

But I cannot use a4j:actionparam, as I have not always links or buttons inside my tab.

So I need something like:

<rich:tab id="tab2" name="Tab2" ontabenter="???">
<s:link view="/otherPage.xhtml" value="Other Page"/>
</rich:tab>

So you see, when the event ontabenter occurs, then the value #{thisTab} should be set to tab2.

How can I do that??

Hello,

Try this variant:

<rich:tab id="tab2" name="Tab2">
Some text
<a4j:actionparam name="setTab" value="tab2" assignTo="#{thisTab}"/>
</rich:tab>

Tab itself is a source of action events so that should work.

hey thanks, that works!!

As I need to catch a special event, I use this version, it also works:

I use this:

<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax" selectedTab="#{thisTab}">
<rich:tab id="tab2" name="Tab2">
Some text
<a4j:support event="onlabelclick">
<a4j:actionparam name="setTab" value="tab2" assignTo="#{thisTab}"/>
</a4j:support>
</rich:tab>
</rich:tabPanel>

thanks!
