rich:tabpanel immediate true is stoping the dynamic load of tab content

[ravi.jrk]

HI,

I have following form with tabpanel(switch type set to ajax) which contains two tabs. I want to dynamically load the tab data every time user enters the tab. I have set immediate true on tabpanel to skip the validations when user moving to other tab. the same property(immediate) is blocking the tab1:firstname value to be updated with  latest value from the backing bean when user enters from tab2 to tab1.  Plz let me know if you have any work around for this problem.

<h:form id="mainform" enctype="multipart/form-data">

      <rich:tabPanel  id="tabs" switchType="ajax"  immediate="true">

         <rich:tab header="tab1" id="tab1" name="tab1" onenter="reloadtab1();">

            <rich:messages/>

            <h:panelGrid columns="2">

               <h:outputText value="name" />

               <h:inputText id="firstname" value="#{testBean.firstname}"  required="true"/>

            </h:panelGrid>                        

          </rich:tab>

          <rich:tab header="tab2" id="tab2" name="tab2">

            <h:panelGrid columns="2">

               <h:outputText value="name" />

               <h:inputText id="secname" value="#{testBean.secname}"/>

            </h:panelGrid> 

          </rich:tab>

     </rich:tabPanel>

</h:form>

<a4j:jsFunction name="reloadtab1" execute="@this" immediate="true" render="tab1" limitRender="true" actionListener="#{testBean.intialize}"/>

hi ravi j,

make immediate attribute false, and add h:inputHidden to your form with id like h1, in your rich:tabpanel add execute=":h1" :

<h:form id="mainform" enctype="multipart/form-data">

      <h:inputHidden id="h1"/>

      <rich:tabPanel  id="tabs" switchType="ajax"  execute=":h1">

......

if your JSF implementation is MyFaces, try execute="@none"

regards.

Thanks Ghosh for the reply.

our environment is myfaces 2.0.5+ richfaces 4.0.0 final. execute attribute is not present on rich:tabpanel.

I tried to excute ":h1" on tab2 . still  the validations are getting fired on tab1. i  tried to execute "@none" on tab2. validations are not fired on tab1, but tab2 is not displayed.

Thanks

I'm on the same situation.

..and I still unanswered. http://community.jboss.org/thread/176348

<rich:tab onheaderclick="window.location.reload(); return false;"

There, I Fixed It

HI Tehackio teha,

The above solution reloads entire tab panel on tab click.it reloads all the managed beans which is unnecessary. I have a complex tabpanel with many tabs.Reloading all the managed beans and entire tabpanel is not ideal solution for our case..  wondering any good solutions to this problem.

Thanks

Hi,

I am able to fix the problem now.  I used itemchangelistener on tabpanel.  In listener method I cleared the UITab component which is seleted, uitab.getChildren().clear().  When the tab is rendered the child components of the tab are recreated and latest bean information will be displayed.

immediate true on UI:tabpanel  is  causing the update model phase to be skipped when some validations are failed. The fix is  to clear  UITab component on tab change,  so that latest bean data will be displayed in render repsonse phase.

Thanks
