Submitting a form on tab switching
Hi,
I am using a <t:panelTabbedPane> with serverSideTabSwitch turned on
I have some input fields on a tab and others on another tab.
If I enter some data into the first tab's fields,
then switch to the other tab and then submit the form,
the first tab's data is not submitted!!!
How to make the tab switching submit the form? (like an immediate="false")
And another curious thing on tabs:
I have some data shown on a tab (not the first tab) and
I want it loaded (from DB) only when the tab is shown.
So I load the data in the getter of a property of a field in that tab.
But the getter is called up even if the tab is not yet shown and
serverSideTabSwitch is turned on!!!
Why?
Thanks for any help!
Cristi

Hi I have the same problem: my form fields are spread out across multiple
tabs and I would like to be able to submit them all when the submit button
is pressed. I too have the panelTabbedPane nested inside a form tag and a
Submit button outside of the panelTabbedPane but inside the form tag.
Any updates on this issue?!

Hi Paul,
3)My backing-bean has request scope indeed , but I use <t:saveState> on that
page.
1)The tabs and the button are already in the form.
I forgot to mention that the submit button is out of the tabbed panel, so I
can click it no matter what tab is selected.
So in fact, what I want is to be able to submit the data from within all the
tabs, when I click the submit button.
For example: I enter some data into the first tab, go to the second one and
enter some data, then submit.
And I want the first tab's data to be submitted too (probably when the tab
is switched).
Thanks for helping!

#2 is optional. The submit button can be on a form.
3) What is the scope of the managed bean, I suspect it is request.
In that case you can either change the scope of the bean, or use
a dialog manager like Shale's dialog manager[1].

Try:
1) Putting the tabs in the form
2) Putting the submit buttons outside the form. Use the
buttons "render" attribute to control when it is displayed.

In general getters are called may time, even when the element is NOT
rendered. The "why" is defined in the JSF spec. In short, limit
the amount of work done in getters. In many cases the work can be
moved to listeners.
