The toggle panel components should allow the user to prevent rendering the active tab when the tab header is clicked. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-13456 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-13456 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Enhancement Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component-output Reporter: Brian Leathem Fix For: 5.0.0.Alpha4 Original Estimate: 1 hour Remaining Estimate: 1 hour The TogglePanelRenderer currently implicitly adds the tabPanel@active metacomponent to the list of rendered ids when a tab panel is clicked. See: https://github.com/richfaces/richfaces/blob/master/framework/src/main/jav... {code} PartialViewContext pvc = context.getPartialViewContext(); pvc.getRenderIds().add(component.getClientId(context) + MetaComponentResolver.META_COMPONENT_SEPARATOR_CHAR + AbstractTogglePanel.ACTIVE_ITEM_META_COMPONENT); {code} Rather than adding the meta component id like this, the meta component id should be treated as the default value of the toggle panel's render attribute. specifying a value for the render attribute would override this default value, and require the user to explicitly call for a render of the active item by adding the meta component id to the render attribute.
