All Implemented Interfaces:

Renderer

public class TabCollectionRenderer
extends CollectionRenderer

This is not a normal renderer that is loaded and used through SPI. It is explicitly called if a service result is a collection but no renderer is here to process it as a collection, but there is one or more renderer(s) that can process individual elements of such collection.

Instance of this class gets such renderer and a whole collection, and iterates over it - putting resulting components in a tabbed pane.
