Hi -

I am using jboss portal 2.7.0, seam 2.2.1, and richfaces 3.3.3.  If I go to a page from the tabs on the top with required='true' on a widget and click save.  The page says 'Field is required'  That works perfectly.  But if I click another tab and click back to that tab, the validation errors are still present.  I was wondering if there was a way for me to force a new view when they click on that tab everytime?

If I create a link inside the xhtml file and redcirect it works:
profile.xhtml

  <s:link id="configureUser" action="#{profileAction.configureUser}" >
         <h:graphicImage value="#{sessionManager.imagePath}/wrench.png" />
  </s:link>

ProfileAction.java
@Begin (join = true)
        public String configureUser() {
                return "/myProfile.xhtml";
        }

This gets me a new view with no validation errors. But I want to be able to click on a tab from the portal and accomplish this too. From the default tabs.jsp in the jboss portal server:
<ul>
         <%
            for (Iterator j = tmp.iterator(); j.hasNext();)
            {
               PortalNode childChild = (PortalNode)j.next();
         %>
         <li><a href='<%= childChild.createURL(context) %>'><%= childChild.getDisplayName(locale) %>
         </a></li>
         <%
            }
         %>
     </ul>

Has anyone tried to do this before? The link in the tab is: /portal/auth/user/profile and I want that to create a new view.If I create a link inside the xhtml file and redcirect it works:
profile.xhtml
