Dynamic Tab UI Shell - close tab action & number of open tabs control

Question

Hi,
I browsed through the forum, but could not get hold of any concrete solution for the question on how to capture the close tab action event and perform some action on that?
The below thread discusses my question but does not appear to have a proper solution
Re: Dynamic Tab UI Shell: controlling the Close icon
And one other question is, currently in the TabContext the number of open tabs is set to 15 limit. How can I override that such that I do not allow more than 7 tabs open at a time?
Please help me with the above two queries. Thanks !
Regards,
SS

Sorry for so much delay. Finally, got some time to play with the template and downloading the dynamicTabTemplate source code and overriding the closeIcon worked like a charm.
Let me summarize what I did to help someone who is looking for this :)
1) Downloaded the source code for dynamicTabTemplate
2) Added and additional attribute closeTab to the template
+<attribute>+
+<attribute-name>closeTab</attribute-name>+
+<attribute-class>java.lang.String</attribute-class>+
+<required>+
true
+</required>+
+</attribute>+
2) edited the dynamicTabShell.jspx, closeIcon commanlink actionListener to be bound to "#{viewScope.tabContext.closeIcon}"
3) Implemented the closeIcon method in TabContext
+@Override+
+public void closeIcon(ActionEvent actionEvent) {+
CloseIconInterface bean = getBean();
bean.closeIcon(actionEvent);
+}+
4) Generated the jar.
5) Removed the oracle provided default dynamicTabTemplate jar and instead added my custom generated jar to the application
6) Applied the new template
7) Set all the attributes along with the new closeTab attribute. This would take the BackingBean name...example: <f:attribute name="closeTab" value="#{xxxScope.xxxBean}"/>
8) Made xxxBean to implement CloseTabInterface
9) Implemented the closeIcon method with custom code to confirm page close before removing the Tab.
However like you said, i'll keep tab on future updates to the default tab template updates to not miss any bug fixes or enhancements.
Thanks everyone who looked into this for me and Hope this helps someone else :)...Good luck !
