RE: Is serverSideTabSwitch="true" required when using validation with ?

["Conway. Fintan (IT Solutions)" <Fi...@esb.ie>]

Hi Paul,

I am not sure if this could work, it is just an idea.  Could you put
some javascript into the button's onClick() method to set the
selectedIndex of the tabbedPane before it submits?  This may give the
behaviour you are looking for?

HTH,

Fintan

validation with <t:panelTabbedPane>?


Mike,

Their is a selectedIndex attribute on <t:panelTabbedPane>.  I would
contend that the selectIndex is not getting set/restored when
serverSiteTabSwitch="false". This show up when the validation phase
fails.

Or said another way:
   MyFaces does not know which tab the clicked button was on and it
always display the tab
   identified by selectIndex when serverSiteTabSwitch="false" when their
is a validation failure.


May I enter this as a bug, enhancement, or wish?

Yes, his question is what such javascript would look like :)
I almost wonder if an actionListener might not be the way to go --
have the actionListener method set the selectedIndex.  I just don't
remember if it'd happen late enough in the lifecycle to occur between
updateModel and renderResponse.
