TabPanel ajax switching not working

[ahmedfawzy]

Hi all, I know that this has been discussed before but I couldn''t get any solution within those discussions to solve my issue, I'm still new to jsf and richfaces and I'm stuck with the following:

<rich:tabPanel id="myTabPanel" switchType="ajax" itemChangeListener="#{myTabBean.changeTabActiveItem}" activeItem="#{myTabBean.activeTab}" immediate="true">

    <rich:tab name="staticTab1" header="Static Tab 1">

        <ui:include src="/WEB-INF/widget/widget1.xhtml" />

    </rich:tab>

    <rich:tab name="staticTab2" header="Static Tab 2">

        <ui:include src="/WEB-INF/widget/widget2.xhtml" />

    </rich:tab>

    <c:forEach items="#{myTabBean.dynamicTabs}" var="dynamicTab" varStatus="status">

        <rich:tab name="#{dynamicTab.id}" header="#{dynamicTab.title}">

            <h:outputText value="some content" />

        </rich:tab>

    </c:forEach>

</rich:tabPanel>

Simply this piece of tag doesn't switch tabs when I click on each tab or even fire the action listener, however, it works when I change the switchType to "server" or "client". Here are some of the libraries that I'm using:

jstl-api-1.2.jar

jstl-impl-1.2.jar

richfaces-components-api-4.0.0.Final.jar

richfaces-components-ui-4.0.0.Final.jar

richfaces-core-api-4.0.0.Final.jar

richfaces-core-impl-4.0.0.Final.jar

javax.faces-2.1.4.jar

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for your reply Mahesh, the bean is session scoped. here is the code for the bean.

@ManagedBean(name = "myTabBean")

@SessionScoped

public class MyTabBean {

          private String activeTab;

          private List<DynamicTab> dynamicTabs = new ArrayList<DynamicTab>();

          public MyTabBean() {

                    dynamicTabs.add(new DynamicTab("dtab1", "Dynamic Tab 1"));

                    dynamicTabs.add(new DynamicTab("dtab2", "Dynamic Tab 2"));

                    dynamicTabs.add(new DynamicTab("dtab3", "Dynamic Tab 3"));

          }

          public String getActiveTab() {

                    return activeTab;

          }

          public void setActiveTab(String activeTab) {

                    this.activeTab = activeTab;

          }

          public void changeTabActiveItem(ItemChangeEvent event) {

                    this.setActiveTab(event.getNewItemName());

                    // some application logic goes here.

          }

}
