JSF Primefaces:redirect to specific page on p:tab click

Question

I would like to utilize p:tabView for horizontal site menu.

When tab is clicked,that user should be redirected in non-ajax style to the specific page.

Is it possible to inject to each tab (e.g. inside p:tab tag) href link ?

Or there is already some alternative to it?

Answer 1

You could put the p:tabView in a template and set the activeIndex property according to the view ID of the current page. It's an ugly hack, but certainly do-able. I did something similar, using a p:menu on the left for navigation in the control panel section of my site.

Answer 2

Primefaces 3.4 now has a p:tabMenu component that may be of use. You will have to manage the active tab manually since this is an undeveloped feature.
