Form submission with multiple tabs

[kalgan]

I am using richfaces version 4 -m4. I have a facelet with a single form that has 2 tabs. Each tab has a rich:datatable with inputText field in them. The submit button is outside the tabPanel and it should submit the values from both the tabs into the action bean(CDI bean). I tried different switchType(s) for the rich:tabPanel. With the switchType as 'ajax', I see the form submitting the values only from the tab that is selected at that time. Nothing gets submitted with switchType 'client'. Here is the code snippet:

<h:form id="cartForm1">

            <rich:panel>

                <div align="right">

                    <h:commandButton action="#{cartTestAction.submit}" value="Submit"/>

                </div>

                <rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax"

                               >

                        <rich:tab name="Tab1">

                            <rich:dataTable value="#{cartTestAction.lines1}" var="line" border="1">

                                <rich:column>

                                    <f:facet name="header">Product</f:facet>

                                    <h:inputText value="#{line.value}">

                                    </h:inputText>

                                </rich:column>

                            </rich:dataTable>

                        </rich:tab>

                     <rich:tab name="Tab2">

                            <rich:dataTable value="#{cartTestAction.lines2}" var="line" border="1">

                                <rich:column>

                                    <f:facet name="header">Product</f:facet>

                                    <h:inputText value="#{line.value}">

                                    </h:inputText>

                                </rich:column>

                            </rich:dataTable>

                        </rich:tab>

                </rich:tabPanel>

            </rich:panel>

        </h:form>

I guess you can read the following article because it may contain answers on your question:

No, the problem I have is that the same functionality used to work in richfaces 3.3, but not in version 4.
