Hi Pablo,

Consider creating a custom profile for dojo. This makes a significant improvement to the page load time as it reduces the number of http requests (read on first though)
http://cwiki.apache.org/S2WIKI/creating-a-custom-dojo-profile-for-struts-20x.html

The reload problem you're encountering is that you're either accumulating too many objects in memory or too many nodes in the DOM. Use Firebug to make sure the previous versions of the tabs are not still in the DOM somewhere. Next, you'll have to ensure the widgets objects Dojo created are released from memory before creating them again after the reload (I've never done this...not sure how to ask dojo to dispose of them), and finally you'll have to ensure any listeners attached to DOM nodes inside your tabs are released (this causes major memory leaks in IE if they're not). All of this has to be controlled using the Dojo API, not the struts 2 tags.

The dojo struts2 tags in 2.1 include an attribute to control whether dojo should parse the content for widgets. This makes a significant performance improvement rendering tabs that contain a lot of markup. This feature is available in Struts 2.0 version of dojo, but not as an attribute of the Struts2 tag. Again, you'll have to dig into the Dojo/widget API to enable the feature.

When I reached that point of complexity (and slowness) I stopped using Dojo and switched to another library. When you're using the Dojo API the benefit of the struts2 tags is completely lost. Most people love JQuery. I use YUI. Dojo1.x looks good too, but I was too burnt to try it. Migrating from the struts2 tags may be a significant effort if you have a lot of notifiers in there, but JQuery and YUI are such a pleasure to use compared to the Struts2 tags so I think you'll find conversion a positive experience without regret.

Good luck!

regards,
Jeromy Evans

Just a bit more information. I have profiled (using firebug) the action (always the same action with the same content) with and without the <s:tabbedpanel> tag and here are the results:

As you can see, executing the action with the tag multiplies by 10 the response time!, while when not using the tag, response times are more or less equilibrated.

Any idea about why am I getting increasing response times each time I access to the page?

I have already a great response time the first time I access to the page (which is also a problem), but my main problem is that after 6 or 7 accesses it in unmanageable...

Thanks!

I don't recall the 0.4 dojo tabbed panel being particularly slow to render, other than the extreme initial page load while Dojo makes too many http requests.

I can't think of any reason why it would get slower after a genuine page reload with the same content (if it's reloading via ajax though, then there's a good reason). The reload problem is not evident in the showcase: it's consistently unbearably slow for each reload at planetstruts. Dojo parses your html for widget markup, so it there's a lot of mark-up inside the tabs it's going to be slooowww (such as tables).

Whenever I had a dojo problem I created a simplified page of html with just the one widget on it to isolate the cause. You're putting yourself through unnecessary torture by not using a newer client-side library though.
