Rendering pages on server and update into tabpanel

rhuynen Sep 25, 2009 11:39 AM

Hello
We have successfully running a Cobol backed application with thousands of masks rendered in a browser with tabbed panels under PHP/Dojo/Smarty.

We want to move to java for this application.
How can tabs within a tab panel be dynamicaly added (eg. the user starts a new application from the menu which should be shown in a new tab) ?

The masks are in xhtml format, how can they be rendered on the server and presented in the newly created tab ?

Can RichFaces be used ?
Are there other libraries which are more suitable ?
Other ideas ?

I have been searching and reading a lot within JSF and Ajax, but didn't find similar requirements as described below, so I am happy for any ideas.

Thanks for pointing me to this article.

Still have one question:
How can I render xhtml dynamically and show it in a tab panel ?

Thanks
