Yes, you are right... I better comment on the context.  :-)

I'm playing with ajax tabbed panel and tabs.

Each component in a tab is getting its own editing context. Its own sandbox. :-)

If the user is editing something in tab1 (i.e. has pending edits), he can switch to tab2 and change something there and save that... then come back to tab1 and the changes there are still pending and he can click save there. Anyways, each tab has its own sandbox.

But this design breaks when you have a new EO because you cannot make a copy of the EO into the other editing contexts used by the other tabs. And I think it also breaks if I attempt to make a copy of the EO if it has pending changes from tab1 for example (right?).

So... I could change it to have all the tabs share the editing context and would probably make things easier... I just wished I could have the tab submit the form within the displayed tab when the user switches tabs... Otherwise the user will change something in a text field in tab1 then switch to tab2 and then back to tab1 and notice that the change made in the text field was lost.

Thanks,
Ricardo

Have one EC for the tab form as whole, and one child EC for each tab. I think that will do what you want.

Hmm... If I do this then clicking save in one tab will simply commit the changes to the parent editing context (it won't save to the database right?).
