Default Tab Rendering based on Profile

We are using the tabbed layout and want to be able to have the default tab change based on the profile of the user.

 

Theoretically it would look something like this

<apex:tabPanel switchType="client" tabClass="activeTab" inactiveTabClass="inactiveTab" 
selectedTab="IF($Profile.Name=='Inside Sales',salesinfo,(IF($Profile.Name=='Accounting',Financials,dealinfo)))">

 Thinking I should do this in apex.  Anyone have any experience with this?

 

Thanks,

Use controller getter method

 

Controller :

 

public class TabPanel 
{

    public String getSelectedTab()
    {
      String ProfileName = [Select Name from Profile where id =: UserInfo.getProfileId()].Name;
      if(ProfileName == 'System Administrator')
          return 'name2';
      else
          return 'name1';    
    
    }
}

 VFP

<apex:page id="thePage" controller="TabPanel">
<apex:tabPanel switchType="client" id="theTabPanel" value="{!SelectedTab}">
    <apex:tab label="One" name="name1" id="tabOne">content for tab one</apex:tab>
    <apex:tab label="Two" name="name2" id="tabTwo">content for tab two</apex:tab>
   
</apex:tabPanel>
</apex:page>

 In this example I have used value attribute of tabPanel component.

 

I hope it solve your problem, please let me know in case any issue in it.
