dynamic include in Richfaces tabPanel

The main purpose to have dynamic include in <rich:tabPanel /> is save bandwidth and reduce the page size, especially when the tabs having a lots of content.

This can be achieve through the attribute "onenter" and <a4j:jsFunction />

Steps:
managedBean
1. create a session scoped or view scoped managedBean.
2. create the managedBean attribute for tab page, and getter setter for these attributes.
    assuming there are 4 tabs, then 4 attributes need to be created.

3. setting default page.

4. create tab action for each tab.

    create tab2Action, tab3Action, tab4Action also.
    this action is to dynamically include the required page into the tab content, and set the other tab content to null.


XHTML
1. create the <rich:tabPanel /> in the main page, eg. tabPanel.xhtml

    highlighted text is the page content to be dynamically included.

2. create the tab content. eg, tab1.xthml, tab2.xhtml, tab3.xhtml, tab4.xhtml

3. create the onenter jsFunction.

    highlighted text is the action created in managedBean. the highlighted text is the action to be invoked when calling the jsFunction.

Done!!
