Hi I have a rich tab panel with some tabs in it. Each tab has specific data it needs to load when i select the tab.The tab has nothing special, just a datatable that needs to load some data.Problem is when i select the tab the first time, the tap opens up with the datatable empty but the data does not load. when i click the tab the second time the data loads into the datatable. I am not sure how to fix this. Can some one help?

My Environment is Richfaces 4.2, JSF 2.0 and Spring Webflow.

Here is my code.

<ui:composition template="../../templates/layout.xhtml">

      <ui:define name="title">

        <h:outputText value="#{msg.add_cg_title}" />

    </ui:define>

    <ui:define name="content">

        <f:view>

            <h:form id="form1">

                <h:messages />

                    <rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax">

                        <rich:tab header="Caregiver" styleClass="rf-tab">

                            <ui:include src="CaregiverInfo.xhtml" />

                        </rich:tab>

                        <rich:tab header="Award" styleClass="rf-tab" action="loadAwardDecisions">

                            <ui:include src="awardDecision.xhtml" />

                        </rich:tab>

                    </rich:tabPanel>

                </rich:panel>

            </h:form>

        </f:view>

    </ui:define>

</ui:composition>

As you can see when i click on the award tab it should call the method loadAwardDecisions. But it never gets called the first time i select the tab. But if i click again, it does load.

Many Thanks for the help
