struts2-jquery datepicker tag not loading in struts2-jquery tabbedpannel tag

I have a page index.jsp, I've used struts2-jquery tabbedpannel tag in this jsp to display another two JSPs (first.jsp & second.jsp) as tabs.

index.jsp

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="sj" uri="/struts-jquery-tags"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" 
                      "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<sj:head />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Index Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <sj:tabbedpanel 
        id="remotetabs" 
        selectedTab="0" 
        show="true" 
        hide="'fade'" 
        collapsible="true" 
        sortable="true">

            <sj:tab id="tab1" href="first.jsp" label="First JSP"/>
            <sj:tab id="tab2" href="second.jsp" label="Second JSP"/>

    </sj:tabbedpanel>
</body>
</html>

Another two JSPs contain a form each with struts2-datepicker tag. Here is one of them...

first.jsp

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="sj" uri="/struts-jquery-tags"%>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" 
                      "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/view.css" media="all">


<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>First JSP</title>
</head>


<body>
    <div>
    <s:form action="firstAction" >
            <sj:datepicker 
                key="timeStamp" 
                name="timeStamp"  
                label="Time Stamp" 
                timepicker="true" 
                displayFormat="yy-mm-dd" 
                timepickerFormat="HH:mm"/>
            <s:submit value="Submit"></s:submit>
    </s:form>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

The problem is that, the first time index.jsp is loaded, struts2-jquery datepicker tag on first.jsp works fine, but as I switch to second tab; which will load second.jsp in AJAX (second.jsp contains same code as first.jsp) struts2-jquery datepicker tag on second.jsp doesn't work.

Now, when I switch back to First Tab to display first.jsp, struts2-jquery datepicker tag doesn't work either. It just stops working after first load.

The problem is that you are calling JSP pages, while you should call Struts2 Actions.

Struts2 is MVC. You souldn't call a View from a View, you should instead call a Controller that will dispatch to a View.

The first time, it works because the variables feeding struts and struts-jquery tags in first.jsp and second.jsp are taken from IndexAction.

You should instead define FirstAction and SecondAction and call them through AJAX in the href attribute:

<s:url var="firstActionUrl" action="first" namespace="/" />
<sj:tab id="tab1" href="%{#firstActionUrl}" label="First JSP"/>

<s:url var="secondActionUrl" action="second" namespace="/" />
<sj:tab id="tab2" href="%{#secondActionUrl}" label="Second JSP"/>
