RichFaces: TabPanel and param

Question

I am currently dealing with rich: tabPanel in my JSF 2.0 based web application. I am facing a very strange problem related to my richface component. Basically, I print the same things on each panel (here is the show schedule table, the tab contains the day, and the contents of the tab contain a different number of hours).

Therefore, I have something like this:

<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 command link when my web page is displayed, this is normal. But when I select another tab, and I click on the command link, the "bean. Method" is not a call. I need to press a second time to make a function call.

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

But this is not the goal, I want to use client mode. I see that on JIRA richfaces v3 this problem is solved by JIRA JBoss . But more information (except for the comment, but it does not work).

If someone can help, that would be great.

Hello,

The problem is that you are using nested forms (the form inside the form). This is not recommended in JSF . Even in HTML it is not valid. Delete one form and it will work.
