Maintaining selected tab
Hi.
I have two simple pages, both of which have a simple
<tr:panelTabbed /> component showing the exactly same tabs and content.
On the first page, I select a different tab and then click a button that
will navigate me to the second page. When the second page loads, I
would like to have the selected tab be the same as the one that was
selected when I submitted from the first page.
I tried to do this by binding the <tr:panelTabbed /> components on
each page to the same property in my session-scoped bean, but when the
second page loads, I am always defaulted to the first tab again. Does
anybody know how I can keep track of which tab is selected for my
panelTabbed component across different pages? Thanks...
Dave

RE: Maintaining selected tab
Posted by David Brunette <Da...@chordiant.com>.
Hey Adam... thanks for the reply.
It turns out that this context-param was already set in my app...
but it still may be the key to what my problem is. I had never heard
about the ChangeManager before, but reading as much as I can find about
it, it seems like this is used to automatically apply some state during
subsequent creation of a particular view. But that's exactly what I
DON'T want to happen. When going from View_A -> View_B, I'd like the
state of the tab component (i.e. which tab is selected) to be the same
on View_B as it was on View_A. My new understanding of the
ChangeManager is that it only helps with keeping the state of a
component when going back to View_A... and the ChangeManager will
maintain a completely separate state for the component on View_B all on
its own. So would it be a mistake to try to use the ChangeManage if I
want to share the component state across different views?
I have gotten this to work now by turning the ChangeManager OFF and
implementing a DisclosureListener on each of my showDetailItem
components to maintain the ID of the selected tab (for anybody
interested, the code is pasted below). But I would like to know if this
is the best solution, or if there is a way to work with the
ChangeManager to maintain a component's state across different views.
Thanks...
Dave

You might try enabling the "change manager" in web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CHANGE_PERSISTENCE</param-name>
<param-value>session</param-value>
</context-param>
... which will do some automatic persistence of UI changes for you.

RE: Maintaining selected tab
Posted by David Brunette <Da...@chordiant.com>.
A little more info on this...
When I select a tab and navigate to the next page, the panelTabbed
is defaulted back to showing the first tab. But if I navigate back to
the first page again, then the panelTabbed is showing the tab that I
selected before. It seems as though the state is being kept, but only
page-by-page instead of for ALL pages that include that component and
bind it to the same CorePabelTabbed.
Any ideas of what I'm missing here?? Thanks...
Dave
