onter() with nested tab
-----------------------

                 Key: RF-11750
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11750
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.CR1
         Environment: Websphere 8 - RAD 8 - JSF Mojorra 2.1.4 - Spring 3.0.6 Final - Use @Inject @Named @SessionScoped as annotations - Firefox 7.0.1 - Windows 7 (6.1 sp1) - AspectJ 1.6.12 / AJDT 
            Reporter: Jean ANDRE


We put onenter() on tabs, because the actionlistener does not work very well on the first click. Some tabs are static while other are dynamically constructed. Tabs are created after a search and a new tab is created with a list of items. When a user click on item list, the content of the tab is refreshed to display detailed information. These information are displayed also inside 6 static tabs.

The problems comes when we click/select these static tabs. Selecting theses tabs, trigger the onter() of the parent tab even if we stay all the time on the parent tab....

We do not known if this behavior is normal or not.

The following code is the dynamic tab construction - Note the onenter()
{code}
  <rich:tabPanel id="desktopTabPanel" switchType="ajax" headerPosition="top" activeItem="#{desktopTabController.activeTab}">
    <rich:tab id="tab-workitems" name="tab-workitems" header="#{msg['desktop.tab.workitems']}" onenter="enterTab('#{tab.id}')">
      <!--                -->
      <!--  WORKITEMS TAB -->
      <!--                -->
    </rich:tab>
    <rich:tab id="tab-search" name="tab-search" header="#{msg['desktop.tab.search']}" onenter="enterTab('#{tab.id}')">
      <!--                -->
      <!--  SEARCH TAB    -->
      <!--                -->
      <a4j:outputPanel id="toggleSearchOutput">
    <!--                 -->
    <!--  TOGGLE SEARCH  -->
    <!--                 -->
    <a4j:commandButton id="toggleCommandSearch"
                    value="#{msg[desktopTabController.toggleSearchLabel]}"
           actionListener="#{desktopTabController.doToggleSearch}"
                   render="toggleSearchOutput"
                immediate="true">
    </a4j:commandButton>
    <br />
    <br />
    <!--                   -->
    <!--  SEARCH CLIENT    -->
    <!--                   -->
    <ui:include src="client/searchClient.xhtml" />
    <!--                   -->
    <!--  SEARCH WORKITEMS -->
    <!--                   -->
    <ui:include src="workitems/searchWorkItems.xhtml" />
      </a4j:outputPanel>
    </rich:tab>
    <c:forEach items="#{desktopTabController.desktopTabBean.tabElements}" var="tab">
      <rich:tab id="#{tab.id}" name="#{tab.id}" actionListener="#{desktopTabController.doTabListener}" onenter="enterTab('#{tab.id}')">
    <!--                -->
    <!--  DYNAMIC TABS  -->
    <!--                -->
    <f:facet name="header">
       <h:panelGrid id="tab-header-#{tab.id}" columns="2" title="#{desktopTabController.getTabHeader(tab.id)}">
        <h:outputText value="#{desktopTabController.getAdjustedTabHeader(tab.id)}" />
        <h:commandButton image="/images/closeButton.png"
                    styleClass="closeButton"
                        action="#{desktopTabController.doCloseTab(tab.id)}" />
      </h:panelGrid>
    </f:facet>
    <ui:fragment rendered="#{tab.isTabClient}">
      <!--               -->
      <!--  CLIENT TAB   -->
      <!--               -->
      <ui:include src="client/listClient.xhtml" />
    </ui:fragment>
    <ui:fragment rendered="#{tab.isTabWorkItems}">
      <!--               -->
      <!-- WORKITEMS TAB -->
      <!--               -->
      <ui:include src="workItems/listWorkItems.xhtml" />
    </ui:fragment>
      </rich:tab>
    </c:forEach>
  </rich:tabPanel>
</h:form>
{code}


The onenter function definition. This function set only the selectedTab variable in the backing bean
{code}
<a4j:jsFunction id="enterTab" name="enterTab" action="#{desktopTabController.doEnterTab}" render="menu-opened-tabs">
<a4j:param name="tabId" assignTo="#{desktopTabController.activeTab}" />
</a4j:jsFunction>
{code}

The onenter function inside the backing-bean
{code}
  public String doEnterTab() {
    // we just need to set the activeTab because actionListener is not working
    // for the first click - Bug has been reported by other users.
   return OUTCOME_DESKTOP;
}
{code}


The following code is the nested tabs - Those tabs appears when the use click on the item from a list.
{code}
	<rich:tabPanel switchType="client" headerPosition="top">
		<rich:tab  header="#{msg['client.tab.summary']}">
			<!--             -->
			<!--  SUMMARY    -->
			<!--             -->
			<ui:include src="summaryClient.xhtml" />		
		</rich:tab>
		<rich:tab  header="#{msg['client.tab.info']}">
			<!--             -->
			<!--  INFO.      -->
			<!--             -->
			<ui:include src="infoClient.xhtml" />		
		</rich:tab>
		<rich:tab  header="#{msg['client.tab.products']}">
			<!--             -->
			<!--  PRODUCTS   -->
			<!--             -->
		
		</rich:tab>
		<rich:tab  header="#{msg['client.tab.phone.address']}">
			<!--                      -->
			<!--  PHONES & ADDRESSES  -->
			<!--                      -->
		
		</rich:tab>
		<rich:tab  header="#{msg['client.tab.history']}">
			<!--             -->
			<!--  HISTORY    -->
			<!--             -->
		
		</rich:tab>
		<rich:tab  header="#{msg['client.tab.workitems']}">
			<!--              -->
			<!--  WORK ITEMS  -->
			<!--              -->
		
		</rich:tab>
	</rich:tabPanel>
{code}

Then, each time we click on these nested tabs, the parent tab call the onenter().

See the screen capture for better understanding of the scenario.
