Dynamic switching and clearing the tab contents

[sainath_nair]

Hi guys

I am trying to switch from one tab to the other one by using ajax... 
I have 2 tabs

1.Grid View
2.Edit View

When I set "Edit View" tab as the default tab, the switching works fine , but when i set "Grid View " , it does not go the next tab..

I also have a command link "Edit"  in the "Grid View" tab.. I want that , when i click on the link , it shound render the "Edit View" tab with the particular record in that tab..

Also when i click on the tabs , it should clear the previous contents of the tabs...


welcome.xhtml
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  <rich:tabPanel id="cityTabs" switchType="ajax"
        selectedTab="#{groupWelcomTabBean.selectedTab}">
        <rich:tab label="Grid View" id="cyGrid">
       <a4j:include  viewId="/CyGroupList.xhtml"/>          
  </rich:tab>
        <rich:tab label="Edit View" name="cyEdit">
                  <a4j:include  viewId="/CyGroupEdit.xhtml"/>
                 
              </rich:tab>
      
    </rich:tabPanel>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

CyGrouplist.xhtml


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
<rich:column styleClass="action">
            <f:facet name="header">Action</f:facet>
              
                       #{' '}
                       <s:link value="Edit">
                     <a4j:support event="onclick"
                 actionListener="#{groupWelcomTabBean.changeTab}"  reRender="cityTabs" />
                  <f:param name="cyGroupGrpSqlidentity"
                        value="#{_cyGroup.grpSqlidentity}"/>
         </s:link>
           
           
             </rich:column>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

groupWelcomeTabBean.java

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

public class GroupWelcomTabBean {


         private String currentTab = "cyEdit";
         public String getcurrentTab() {
               return currentTab;
          }
          public void setcurrentTab(String currentTab) {
               this.currentTab = currentTab;
          }
          private String selectedTab = "cyGrid";
         public String getSelectedTab() {
               return selectedTab;
          }
          public void setSelectedTab(String selectedTab) {
               this.selectedTab = selectedTab;
          }
          // getters and setters for city and selectedTab
         public void changeTab (ActionEvent event){
              
                    selectedTab = currentTab;
         }
     
}

Hi guys ,

The issue is resolved. Actually , i was using s:link instead of commandLink. So when I tried using commandLink , it works absolutely fine ... :-)
