RF 4.3.x - Load Tab content dynamically?

[peter.falken]

I have a set of Tabs that are created dynamically based on a Query (the area codes for the telephones in our phonebook).

The result is that there is one tab for each area code, within each tab there is a datatable that holds the list of phones and contacts for each area code.

The problem is that when rendering the page for the phonebook - all the datatables are rendered.

This makes loading the page a test of patience, since it takes a long time (more than 3 minutes).

I've already added the necessary indexes to the Database.

Is it possible to create the tabs dynamically but only render the datatable on the active tab??

I've tried the switchType="ajax" parameter but this doesn't affect rendering.

PrimeFaces has a dynamic parameter that let the content within a tabpanel be loaded with AJAX

Is there a similar parameter in RichFaces?

Thanks Brian.

Brian,

Do you know if the fix for this issue is planned for Richfaces 5 Final release?

Or could you point me to what part of the code I should start looking to help out?

I'm sure that this would give RF 5.x a good performance boost.
