Christian,
Adding a Selenium test case[1] would go a long way in getting this issue resolved. You can see some examples of Selenium tests in examples/simple/src/test/selenium[2].

If you submit a test case as a patch, I will review and commit it.

-------------------------------------------

I can confirm that this bug exists.
It can be reproduced with the MyFaces-Simple-Demo-Application V. 1.1.6 on 
Tomcat 5.5.20 by doing the following:

a.) Amend the content of the server-side-switched tab1 in the demo's TabbedPane.jsp to the the following, i.e. a a dataTable:
<t:panelTab id="tab1" label="#{example_messages['tabbed_tab1']}" 
rendered="#{tabbedPaneBean.tab1Visible}">
<t:dataTable headerClass="myTableHeader"
   rowClasses="myTableRow1,myTableRow2"
   var="r"
   preserveDataModel="false"
   preserveRowStates="false"
   preserveSort="false"
   value="#{tabbedPaneBean.testBeans}">
<h:column>
         <f:facet name="header">
               <h:outputText
                     value="--Header 1 --" />
         </f:facet>
         <t:inputText
               id="inputField002"
               value="#{r.s1}" />
   </h:column>

   <h:column>
         <f:facet name="header">
               <h:outputText
                     value="--Header 2 --" />
         </f:facet>
         <t:inputText
               id="inputField001"
               value="#{r.s2}" />
</h:column> </t:dataTable>
b.) Add a TestBean to the application:

pulbic class TestBean implements Serializable{
  private String _s1;
  private String _s2;
// + getter and setter
}

c.) Extend the TabbedPaneBean with one property holding a list of TestBeans:

private List<TestBean> testBeans;
// + getter and setter

d.) Initialise the property testBeans, with a few objects, e. g. by adding a 
default contructor  containing the following lines:

this.testBeans = new ArrayList<TestBean>();
this.testBeans.add(new TestBean());
this.testBeans.add(new TestBean());

There will be two table rows @ 2 input fields on the the tabbedPane-demopage after 
this amendment. Data entered into it, will be lost on Tab-change, contrary to the 
input fields outside of the <t:dataTable>.

####################

As far as I could spent time to debug this, I can say that after the Apply-Request-Values-Phase (i. e. processDecodes) the UIcomponent (UIInput), which loses the entered values holds the submitted value in the attribue "_submittedValue" but somehow afterwards, the value will not be written into the bound bean model property.
Somehow it appears that the tabswitching has some kind of immediate-alike behaviour, i. 
e. if you switch tabs, all fields of TabbedPane.jsp which are to be validated, will not 
be validated, contrary to what's happening when you use the already provided "Common 
submit button".

It is interesting, that entered data will be correctly written to the bound model 
properties, if you use UIInput-components outside of a <t:dataTable> as already 
provided within the demo application.

Please let me know, if you need more information on this or if you cannot 
reproduce it with the given information.

Regards and thanks in advance.

Tabbed Pane: dataModel inside tabs is not updated when switching between tabs 
and coming back
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                Key: TOMAHAWK-717
                URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-717
            Project: MyFaces Tomahawk
         Issue Type: Bug
         Components: Tabbed Pane
   Affects Versions: 1.1.3
           Reporter: Gerald Müllan

I have worked several times with the tabbed pane component, but never got aware of this bug. There is a dataTable inside one tab and some new values were put in some input components. After switching to another tab and coming back, the values are gone and only the "old" ones are rendered out. This bug seems to be actual since 1.1.3 and before.
