Tabpanel andlem extendeddatatable prob

[oguzyalcin]

Hi, I'm using seam with richfaces. I have richfaces tabpanel component in my seam application. It runs smoothly when using switchType="client" but when i change switchtype to ajax or server, I can't load the selected tab, because my component only renders if the page is requested like page.seam?process=new and when the panel sends a request , the request directs to the page.seam .How can i send the page parameters when switching the tab? Also having same problem when trying to rerender extended datatable. When I try to sort the xdatatable , loading icon appears but no response returns, cause it requests page.seam and requested page doesn't contain a xdatatable. it must send the request to page.seam?process=new. How can I do this?
Thx

info: param.process is a get parameter.


Next Phase the problems:
1-when i try to switch between tags three situations occurs when clicked to a tabpanel
if tabpanel property switchtype is set to client :everything works smoothly
if tabpanel property switchtype is set to server: page redirects to employee.seam . The request parameter "process" is not there . So the page doesn't render the same component.
iftabpanel property switchtype is set to ajax: panel sends an ajx request to the employee.seam(also with the missing request parameter "process") so you can't change the tabpage



2- if param.process=='search' returns true (page is requested like employee.seam?process=search) i render an staff search form . The problem is with the extendeddatatable. when you select a column header and select sort ascending. the loading icon flashes. but loading never ends because it sends the request to employee.seam not to employee.seam?process=search .


In conclusion, my main problem (from my point of view) is rich components not sending the pageparameters.

Could please provide help for this situation?

Any suggestions?

You could see that our richfaces-demo works with page parameters fine. (It consist of tabPanel in server mode and parameters used for skin and tab bookmarking). B.t.w. using tabs in server mode - works the same as submitting for with h:commandButton.

1) try to replace jstl tags with rendered conditions..
2) also paste web.xml source.
