How to keep information on the tabPanel

[quintenjiang]

I am using rich:tabPanel to switch two pages, one is storing house information, another is storing houseItem.
For Stateless Bean, code like:

@In(scope = ScopeType.SESSION)
@Out(scope = ScopeType.SESSION)
House house;


But when I click another Tab Panel, then switch back, the information I just type in gone!!! Even I set House Entity Bean Scope as SESSION. It does not work.
May I know how to keep information for each Panel?
Thanks,

Please post some code to show what you are doing!

I just try to migrate Ajax4jsf code google-house into Seam and richfaces.
And modify code EmployeeTable.java and Employee.java.

Orignal jsf page call employee like:

#{employeeTable.employee.address}

So when switching between tabPanel, pages can keep all typing information. But after I change them into seam EmployeeTable code like:

@In @out
Employee employee;

and pages:
#{employee.address}

So how to activate employee session to keep its information?


Thanks

Try using a Stateful Bean which will coversationally scoped. You won't need to scope your variables as Session.

Tomahawk have function t:saveState to try to enables you to persist beans to keep information on eack pages between tabPanel. May I know if there are any similar functions on seam or ajax4jsf? of couse I can put like

<h:inputText size="50" value="#{person.name}" >
<a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="rep"/>
</h:inputText>

on each inputText to persist each field at the beans. but it look stuipt.


Thanks,

Conversation and Page scopes will both work here.
