Tabbed Panel with DataViews and “Pager Save State” controls

Question

Scenario: 1) A Tabbed Panel with three Tabs 2) Each Tab containing a DataView 3) Each DataView is categorized, collapsed as default 4) Documents may be opened and closed from views

Present Behaviour: Closing a doc returns the user to the respective collapsed view.

Present Code: 1) Every DataView has in one of its pagerBottom facets a "Pager Save State" control 2) The doc's "Close" button contains: viewStateBean.restoreState = true;

Desired Behaviour: Closing the doc, one should return to the view in the state in which it was left.

Answer 1

Instead of placing the code...

viewStateBean.restoreState=true;

in the "Close" button, try placing it in the "beforePageLoad" of the XPage. This works for me when there is one DataView, so it's possible it will work with multiple.
