RF4 tabs IllegalArgumentException on reload

[ruphus]

Hello to all.

I'm using RichFaces 4 running on JBoss AS6 and the pages I'm building contain some <rich:tab> components.

Pages correctly open when a menuItem is clicked after the first time the menu is rendered; next, whichever item you click, an exception is shown (see below). If you request again the url (get) from the browser address bar, the page it opens.

I'm not using ajax, but simple page reloading. The links to the pages are something like "page?faces-redirect=true" and are put as menuItems "action" attribute.

Everything goes fine for pages without tab components.

Maybe I'm missing something. If needed, I can give you more details.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone can help me?

I have the same problem. And I've found a solution. The problem is in the org.richfaces.component.AbstractTogglePanel class in the getChildName method.

I've copied the sorce of this class to my project and I've replaced the code of the getChildName method:

if ( !(item instanceof AbstractTogglePanelItemInterface)) {
     throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}

with this code:

if ( !(item instanceof AbstractTogglePanelItemInterface)) {
     return item.getId();
}

Actually, that method returns a name of the child item, and if a name doesn't exist it returns an id of the child elemnt.

This is helped me. You may put this fix in the original jar. I hadn't such posibility, so I put it in my application. Tomcat's class loader first of all load classes from the application and only after that from other jar files.

Thank you. It works!

Is there any issue related to this bug?
