Dynamic Tab Template : Use Menu Navigation Across Multiple Applications

Question

Hi
I have the following use case and would appreciate help.
Our client has multiple applications which they need integrated into a single home page. I am using the dynamic tab template as my home page with multiple panel boxes containing application specific menus. I need to be able to create a tab from any application via the menu.
My strategy is to use bounded task flows in the various applications, but I am not 100% sure on how to do it. The applications would also contain multiple task flows, so I would then need to be able to paramatise the task flows so that it can execute the correct flow case.
Thanks.
Leon.

Hi Sireesha
I can access the remote task flow from the menu using the action listener. When I use a managed bean to add a new tab using the task flow it fails with;
<RegistrationConfigurator><handleError> Server Exception during PPR, #1
java.lang.NullPointerException
The managed bean method to add the tab and execute the task flow is;
private void startActivity(String title, String taskid, boolean isNew) {
try {
if (isNew) {
TabContext.getCurrentInstance().addTab(title, taskid);
} else {
TabContext.getCurrentInstance().addOrSelectTab(title, taskid);
} catch (TabContext.TabOverflowException e) {
System.out.println("");
Where title is the tab title and taskid is the task id in format TaskFlowName.xml#TaskFlowID.
Thanks.
