tabPanel + get parameters

[svkap]

Hi all.

I want to have RESTful tabs. I have a page and tabPanel inside. The page is getting get parameter EMail and displays some data. I want every tab to be with unique URL and to pass the EMail get parameters as well. For example:

Tab_1: example.com/page.jsp?EMail=[e-mail]&tab=Tab_1

Tab_2: example.com/page.jsp?EMail=[e-mail]&tab=Tab_2

Now when I change the tabs the EMail parameter is lost and I cannot find how to assign unique URL for every tab.

Thank you.

please download richfaces-demo sources and check how it's implemented there.

Hi.

Thank you for the quick reply. I downloaded the sources but I have some questions.. I see that some of this magic is done with org.richfaces.demo.common.ComponentNavigator class. However I can see that there only the url is rewritten after the tab is changed so it can be in sync. However I cannot find how the get parameters are intercepted so the correct tab to be shown (for example when the user writes the URL directly)..

Hi,

Please take a look at: getComponentUri() & getCurrentComponent() methods of ComponentNavigator.

Hi.

I have one (hopefully) last question. Tab and URL changing is working fine now... However I have one problem. The bean that is holding the logic is with request scope. However I have some get parameters that are passed to it (like user EMail). When the tabs are changed these parameters are lost. Can I preserve them (pass them between requests) without changing the scope of this bean?

can you set the params in session , and can access it?

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap()
    .put("<name>", <value>);
