Going to a particular tab

Question

This is my menu:

<p:menubar>  
      <p:submenu label="Clientes">  
           <p:menuitem value="Cadastro" action="#{nomeBean.cadastrar} outcome="funcionario.xhtml" />  
           <p:menuitem value="Consulta" action="#{nomeBean.consultar}" outcome="funcionario.xhtml" />  
     </p:submenu>  
</p:menubar>
...    
<p:tabView dynamic="true" activeIndex="#{nomeBean.tabIndex}" >  
   <p:tab title="Cadastro">      
   </p:tab>  
   <p:tab title="Consulta">
      tenho aqui uma dataTable
   </p:tab>  
</p:tabView>

This is my Bean:

private int tabIndex;

public void cadastrar() {
  tabIndex = 0;
}

public void consultar() {
  tabIndex = 1;
}

public int getTabIndex() {
  return tabIndex;
}

So, by clicking on the Query Menu, for example, it does not redirect to the Query tab or register.

To work you would need to update the p:tabView, for such:

1 - Define a id par to the p:tabView(Example: tabTeste);

2 - For menu items, you can update p:tabview after it finishes the asynchronous request to the server (in this case the index change):

<p:menuitem value="Cadastro" update="tabTeste" action="#{nomeBean.cadastrar} outcome="funcionario.xhtml" />

You could do this at the Javascript level, to avoid an "interaction" with the server only to change well defined indexes.
