Invoking a (refresh) method when user select a RichFaces' ta

[tonylmai]

Hello,

I have a DataModel that I would like to have it refreshed before it is rendered on a RichFaces's tabPanel. How do I invoke a (Seam's component) refresh method when the tab is switched to (when user selects it)?

Thanks.

Use a page action.

Something like:

 <page view-id="userList.xhtml" action="#{userListing.refresh}"/>

Does it invoke every time a user visits/revisit a page? It seemed like it did it only the first time the page was rendered. After that, it seemed to get the page/datamodel from cache.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

It probably depends on whether you're using client, server, or ajax mode tabs. If you use server, I imagine page actions would work.
