rich:tabPanel with dynamic tabs rerendering problem

[inancs]

Hello,

Is it possible to exclude a child component from parent component's rendering?

In our use case, we use a rich:tabPanel. We add/remove tabs dynamically. When a new tab is added or removed,

we rerender rich:tabPanel so all of the tabs' contents in the rich:tabPanel is rerended again.

However, in some the of the tabs, we have an iframe in which we have a flow that we don't want to rerender in order to keep its state.

In short, our situation is, we want to add/remove tabs dynamically, but we don't want to rerender all tabs' contents.(rerendering tabPanel causes this).

We need support as soon as possible.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

unfortunatelly there is no way to update tab controls line without tabPanel reRender. But if you will use switchMode = ajax then only current tab will be encoded on tabPanel reRendering.

Thanks for your reply Ilya.

If I set the swithType to "Ajax", i face the same problem even without adding/removing tabs. i.e. when i switch between two tabs where one of them has an iframe, the iframe source is requested again every time I switch to that tab.

So the only acceptable switchType is "Client" in our case.
