Hello,
I haven't been able to figure out how to dynamically change the selected tab in a tabPanel. I have the following code:

<a4j:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{myBean.search}"
 reRender="navigationTabs" />

<rich:tabPanel id="navigationTabs" switchType="ajax" height="350"
 selectedTab="#{navigationBean.currentTab}" >
 <rich:tab name="tab1" label="Tab 1">
 <h:outputText value="You are in Tab 1" />
 </rich:tab>
 <rich:tab name="tab2" label="Tab 2">
 <h:outputText value="You are in Tab 2" />
 </rich:tab>
</rich:tabPanel>

My navigationBean has session scope and I change the String property currentTab from the action method that is called by the submit button. I set this property to the name of the tab I want to make active (i.e "tab1" or "tab2" )

I notice that the tabPanel only calls getCurrentTab the first time is rendered, but not when the form is submitted or even when I refresh the page in the browser.

Is there a way to change the selected tab from the server side ?

I appreciate if you could help me.

Thanks
Alex
