hello Ahmet,
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but there is a walkaround for this issue :

<a4j:jsFunction name="enter" action="#{myBean.action}" />
            <rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax">
                <rich:tab header="tab1" onenter="enter()">

                </rich:tab>
                <rich:tab header="tab2">

                </rich:tab>
            </rich:tabPanel>

regards.

I'm see the problem but not sure what is precise current plans for that. Initially we decided to make those functionality supported as tabs often used as just navigation components:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-10448
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-10111

But seems last time guys thought about rejecting that functionality and leaving ony switching listeners available. https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-10972

So I do not think we should add some more items to jira (or them will just conflict one with the other). I will just point the guys to that thread in order to initiate one more discussion about that.

Please be patient - dev's will update the thread I beleive when will come to some conclusion.

Hi guys,

I strictly agree with switchable panels used for navigation, thus having action and actionListeners.

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-10972 seems it is just about hiding attributes which were not working.

I will move this thread to development space and add this issues on the agenda of today's RichFaces Team Meeting [1].

Well, please do remove the action attribute then. Though its a shame, nice feature.

I tried using tabPanel and including entire pages in tabs. Sadly that doesn't really work properly all the time.

So I started thinking of using the tabpanel for navigation. But now I find out that this even doesn't work properly... I will try this a4j:function workaround. I guess that should work.

Wow, just noticed there is a working SSO... damn me for not noticing it before (and hence not participating in jira stuff).

Though it is a bit late for me and my project.I will have to make a workaround and not use tabpanel at all. Nontheless I think this worked in 3.x (from forum posts) and would be a useful feature indeed still. Especially since including tons of content in tabPanel is unhealthy.

Thanks for pointing out the correct course of action.
