Tabmenu in a JSF page

Question

hi all,
I am supposed to create an Application in JSF.Functionality is to create a page with multiple tab items that display different pages for each tab. The main concern is that i need the tab menu to in the middle of the page , meaning , the page consists of two halves - the upper half remaining constant , fixed & then the page below which changes according to the tab selected.

Answer 1

What I've been doing is including my tabbed pages using jsp:include as follows:
<af:showOneTab position="both">
   <af:showDetailItem id="headlines" text="Headlines" rendered="true"
               disclosureListener="#{AdministratorPage.disclosureListener}">
              <jsp:include flush="true"
                    page="/jspf/AdministratorPage/Headlines.jsp"/>
  </af:showDetailItem>
  <af:showDetailItem id="useradmin" text="Users" rendered="true"
                     partialTriggers="change_displayed_users update_user create_user email_user"
                    disclosureListener="#{AdministratorPage.disclosureListener}">
    <jsp:include flush="true"
                 page="/jspf/AdministratorPage/UserTable.jsp"/>
   </af:showDetailItem>
    <af:showDetailItem id="groupadmin" text="Groups"
        rendered="#{Session.user.globalAdmin}"
        disclosureListener="#AdministratorPage.disclosureListener}">
         <jsp:include flush="true"
                page="/jspf/AdministratorPage/GroupTable.jsp"/>
   </af:showDetailItem>
and so on
...The included JSP files look something like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="1.2"
          xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
          xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces">
    <af:panelForm labelWidth="15" rows="2" maxColumns="2">
        <af:inputText label="Home Page Message:"
                      value="#{Application.homePageHeadline}" columns="80"
                      rows="8"
                      tip="is displayed on a dedicated left hand panel of the Home Page.  It will most often be read by users who are just logging in."/>
        <af:inputText label="Banner Headline:"
                      value="#{Application.bannerHeadline}" columns="80"
                      rows="2"
                      tip="is displayed immediately under the Banner logo on every page.  It will displayed to all users the next time they update the page."/>
        <f:facet name="footer">
            <af:panelButtonBar>
                <af:commandButton text="Apply"/>
                <af:resetButton text="Reset"/>
            </af:panelButtonBar>
        </f:facet>
    </af:panelForm>
</jsp:root>
