Dynamically create tabs for tabPanel

Hi,

I am using Seam, and trying to dynamically create tabs for a tabPanel.

The code I have is something like the following:

<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax">
 <rich:tab label="Testing">
 <h:outputText value="Testing"/>
 </rich:tab>
 <ui:repeat value="#{settingGroupAction.resultList}" var="settingGroup">
 <rich:tab label="#{settingGroup.group_name}" id="settingGroupTab">
 <h:outputText value="This is just a test"/>
 </rich:tab>
 </ui:repeat>
 </rich:tabPanel>

However, it is not working... is this the correct syntax? or am I doing something wrong?

The only tab shown, is the "Testing" one...

I am asking the question here, because I think it is a richfaces question, and not something to do with JBoss Seam in particular.

Thanks
Antonio

I found using c:forEach works better:

<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax">
 <rich:tab label="Testing">
 <h:outputText value="Testing"/>
 </rich:tab>
 <c:forEach items="#{settingGroupAction.resultList}" var="settingGroup">
 <rich:tab label="#{settingGroup.group_name}">
 <h:outputText value="This is just a test"/>
 </rich:tab>
 </c:forEach>
 </rich:tabPanel>

Also, I am now letting the id created automaticaly
