richfaces tabPanel problem

[S Majumder]

Hi every body ,

I am using richfaces tabPanle <rich:tabPanel>.On my tabpanle I am creating 3 different tabs .I am using the
valueChangeListener of tabPanle .


Here is my jsf code :

  
<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax" valueChangeListener="#{multiSiteBacking.changeTabAction}" >
	<rich:tab id="tab1" label="tab1">
             comments ......
            
        </rich:tab>
        <rich:tab id="tab2" label="tab2">
             comments ......
        </rich:tab>
        <rich:tab id="tab3" label="tab3">
              comments ......
        </rich:tab>

Here is my backing bean code :

  
public void changeTabAction(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) throws Exception 
{
        //code for tab1 specific ........

       //code for tab2 specific ........


      //code for tab3 specific ........
}

My question is :
a) Can I handle the tab specific events ? Suppose I am clicking the "tab1" , in the backing bean only tab1 specific code will run or If I am pressing the tab2 only the "tab2" specific code will run . Is it possible ?

b) Suppose I have one command button , in my jsf is it possible when I am clicking that button it will open tab2 / tab3 (suppose currently tab-1 is opened)?


Thanks & regards,
S.

You can add the name attribute to <rich:tab/>.

In your changeTabAction(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) method,

String tab = (String) valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();

Now tab will be the name of the selected tab. Using this you will be able to perform the actions specific to the selected tab.
