RichFaces: TabPanel and param

Question

Currently, i am dealing with rich:tabPanel in my web application based on JSF 2.0. I encounter a very strange problem, which is related to my richface component. Basically, i print some same stuff on each panel (here, it is a schedule table of a show, tab contains the day and content of tab contains the differents hours ).

Consequently, i have something like that:

<rich:tabPanel>
     <c:forEach items="#{show}" var="hour" ...>
       <rich:tab>
        <a4j:commandLink ...>
             <a4j:param value="hour.something" assignTo="#{bean.method}" />
        </a4j:commandLink>
     </ ..... >

When i click on the first commandlink, when my webpage is displayed, it's ok. But when i choose an other tab, and i click on the commandlink, the "bean.method" is not call. I need to click a second time to make the call of the function.

Finally, when i put the tabPanel as "switchtype=server", it works very well (without clicking 2 times).

But that's not the purpose, i want to use the client mode. I see that on JIRA of richfaces v3, this problem has been solved JIRA JBoss. But there is no more information (except a comment but it's not working).

If anyone can help, it would be great.

Regards,

Need more info. Please tell us **1.** Where is your form? **2.** Don't you like to change the `switchType` to `ajax`? — prageeth, Nov 22 '12 at 03:42
There are 2 forms: The **first** surrounding the rich:tabpanel, the **second** surrounding the commandlink inside my rich:tab. Changing the switchType with `ajax` doesn't change something, same thing occurs. — user1843642, Nov 22 '12 at 12:36

The problem is you are using nested forms(form within form). This is not recommended in JSF. Even in HTML it is invalid. Remove one form and it will work.

Thanks a lot, I will take a look on this. – user1843642 Nov 23 '12 at 17:54
Working perfectly: I kept the form surrounding the rich:tabpanel and removed the other one. Again: thank you ! – user1843642 Nov 23 '12 at 23:46

You are welcome. Note that if you want to prevent the full form being submitted when the `commandLink` is clicked, don't forget to add `ajaxSingle=true` to `` – prageeth Nov 24 '12 at 05:02
