    RichTree not repsonsive - have no clue

    patrickmadden

      Hi,

      I am using JBoss Seam 1.2.1 GA and JBoss 4.0.5.GA. I have a lot of things working but for some reason I can't get my tree to function at all. I've been grabbing most of the snapshot jars nightly of RichRaces but it doesn't seem to matter at all.

      I am using TreeNodeImpl class directly and pass in as a data object a class that represents my own tree data.

      I'm wrapping a javax.swing.TreeModel implementation with the RichFaces tree implementation. My ITreeNode interface seen below actually extends javax.swing.tree.TreeNode interface.



      public interface IWebTreeData
      {
       public String getText();
       public String getType();
      }
      


      public class WebTreeData implements IWebTreeData, Serializable
      {
       /**
       *
       */
       private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
      
       String text;
       String type;
      
       public WebTreeData(String text, String type)
       {
       this.text = text;
       this.type = type;
       }
      
       /*
       * (non-Javadoc)
       * @see com.clooster.web.model.tree.IWebTreeData#getText()
       */
       public String getText()
       {
       return this.text;
       }
      
       /*
       * (non-Javadoc)
       * @see com.clooster.web.model.tree.IWebTreeData#getType()
       */
       public String getType()
       {
       return this.type;
       }
      }


      I honestly believe my tree is built correctly on the backing side due to some debug code that I've written as follows:

       private void dumpRichTreeModel()
       {
       TreeNodeImpl root = this.getRootNode();
       StringBuffer outputBuffer = new StringBuffer(((IWebTreeData) root.getData()).getText());
      
       dumpRichChildren(root, 0, outputBuffer);
      
       log.info(outputBuffer.toString());
       }
      
       private void dumpRichChildren(TreeNodeImpl parent, int tabCount, StringBuffer outputBuffer)
       {
       outputBuffer.append('\n');
       Iterator iter = parent.getChildren();
      
       tabCount++;
       StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
      
       for (int i = 0; i < tabCount; i++)
       {
       buf.append('\t');
       }
      
       String tabs = buf.toString();
      
       while (iter.hasNext())
       {
       Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) iter.next();
       //ITreeNode identifier = (ITreeNode) entry.getKey();
       TreeNodeImpl child = (TreeNodeImpl) entry.getValue();
       outputBuffer.append(tabs);
       outputBuffer.append(((IWebTreeData)child.getData()).getText());
      
       dumpRichChildren(child, tabCount, outputBuffer);
       }
       }
      


      After running this code when the tree if finalized, I get the exact tree dumped to the log as I would expect. I get my root, with all children and their children etc dumped to the log using tabs to identify the parent/sibling/child relationships.

      Here is my snippet of code that renders the tree:

       <rich:panel styleClass="searchTreeSidebar">
       <f:facet name="header">#{messages['documents.mysearches']}</f:facet>
       <rich:tree
       switchType="ajax"
       style="width:30%;float:left"
       value="#{webDocumentTreeModel.rootNode}"
       var="item"
       nodeFace="#{item.type}"
       changeExpandListener="#{webDocumentTreeModel.onExpand}"
       nodeSelectListener="#{webDocumentTreeModel.onSelect}"
       binding="#{webDocumentTreeModel.tree}">
       <rich:treeNode type="documentMgr">
       <h:outputText value="#{item.text}" />
       </rich:treeNode>
       <rich:treeNode type="document">
       <h:outputText value="#{item.text}" />
       </rich:treeNode>
       <rich:treeNode type="cluster">
       <h:outputText value="#{item.text}" />
       </rich:treeNode>
       <rich:treeNode type="web">
       <h:outputText value="#{item.text}" />
       </rich:treeNode>
       <rich:treeNode type="news">
       <h:outputText value="#{item.text}" />
       </rich:treeNode>
       <rich:treeNode type="image">
       <h:outputText value="#{item.text}" />
       </rich:treeNode>
       <rich:treeNode type="video">
       <h:outputText value="#{item.text}" />
       </rich:treeNode>
       <rich:treeNode type="shopping">
       <h:outputText value="#{item.text}" />
       </rich:treeNode>
       <rich:treeNode type="desktop">
       <h:outputText value="#{item.text}" />
       </rich:treeNode>
       <rich:treeNode type="advert">
       <h:outputText value="#{item.text}" />
       </rich:treeNode>
       </rich:tree>
       </rich:panel>
      


      The root tree node doesn't show up but its first children do. However, when I click on the arrow to expand a non leaf node nothing happens.

      Here is my backing bean impl. I don't expect you to study the whole thing but much of it is grabbed from demo code.

      When you see things like DocumentManagerTreeModel and DocumentManagerTreeNode those are actually Swing TreeModel and TreeNode instances. We have a shared model where our java applications, applets and web share a lot of code. I'm just wrapping these objects inside of RichFaces TreeNodeImpl classes. Hope that makes sense.

      Hope I didn't give too much information but I'm really hoping someone can help me as I'm dead in the water unless the tree works.

      Many thanks in advance!!!

          Hello!

          I've examined the code. Node identifier keys changes can be the reason for tree component to fail. I mean this code:

          this.getRootNode().addChild(docRoot.getUserObject(), uiDocumentTreeNode);

          Tree uses theese keys to build client identifiers, so if identifiers have been changed, tree component cannot identify the concrete source of the event, thus failing.

          BTW, tree doesn't draw root node, only its children. That should have been reflected in documentation.

            patrickmadden

            Thanks for your reply. I was using my data object for an id. I changed that to now just create an integer for the id's as follows:

             /**
             * updateWebUITreeModel
             * @param sessionController ISessionController
             * @param document WebDocument
             * @param docRoot IDocumentTreeNode
             */
             protected void updateWebUITreeModel(ISessionController sessionController, WebDocument document, IDocumentTreeNode docRoot)
             {
             TreeNodeImpl uiDocumentTreeNode = this.createRichFacesNode(docRoot);
             this.getRootNode().addChild(getNextID(), uiDocumentTreeNode);
            
             IXList<ITreeNode> children = docRoot.getChildren();
            
             for (ITreeNode cloosterTreeNode : children)
             {
             createChildRichFacesTreeNode(sessionController, document, uiDocumentTreeNode, docRoot, cloosterTreeNode);
             }
             }
            
             /**
             * @param sessionController2
             * @param document
             * @param parentUIDocumentTreeNode
             * @param parent
             * @param child
             */
             protected void createChildRichFacesTreeNode(ISessionController sessionController,
             WebDocument document,
             TreeNodeImpl parentUIDocumentTreeNode,
             ITreeNode parent,
             ITreeNode child)
             {
             TreeNodeImpl childUITreeNode = this.createRichFacesNode(child);
             parentUIDocumentTreeNode.addChild(getNextID(), childUITreeNode);
            
             // Children here are actually Clooster ITreeNode objects which are Swing TreeNodes
             IXList<ITreeNode> children = child.getChildren();
            
             // recursive call here
             for (ITreeNode cloosterTreeNode : children)
             {
             createChildRichFacesTreeNode(sessionController, document, childUITreeNode, child, cloosterTreeNode);
             }
             }
            


            GetNextID is dead simple as follows:

             int idIndex = 0;
             public Integer getNextID()
             {
             idIndex++;
             return Integer.valueOf(idIndex);
             }
            


            It is definately working better but when I try to expand a node it still doesn't render correctly. I have a standard approach. A tree on the left used for navigation and a content area on the right. If I do something in the content area that causes an ajax request then and only then will the tree render to the proper expanded state. So I'm just not sure why the tree doesn't render at the proper time. My expansion listener is working so when user clicks on the node I my backing bean gets notified. I'm not really doing anything there except printing some debug information.

             public void onExpand(NodeExpandedEvent event)
             {
             UITree tree = getUITree(event);
             log.info("Node "
             + (tree.isExpanded() ? "expanded" : "collapsed") + " "
             + tree.getRowKey());
            
             }
            


            I tried to add a reRender tag to my rich:tree declaration to rerender itself but that didn't do anything either.

              Are you using snapshot version? Is it latest? I've remembered now that I've fixed "tree in ajax not expanding" bug a couple of days ago in ~8-12 Apr. snapshots. Can it be that you have got non-fixed version?

              • 4. Re: RichTree not repsonsive - have no clue
                patrickmadden

                I'm using the snapshot from last night. richfaces-3.0.1-20070412.155108-11.jar

                However, I just got it working by wrapping the tree in an <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true"> as described in http://jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=104898

                Not sure what is going on but seems when wrap the tree in richPanel it doesn't want to render expansion events?

                Again, thanks very much for your time!

                  Actually I sort of take that back. I *can* actually still wrap it in a rich:panel but I still need the <a4j:outputPanel> Here is how it is functioning and still looks exactly as I wanted. I use the facet to represent my root node.

                   <rich:panel styleClass="searchTreeSidebar">
                   <f:facet name="header">#{messages['documents.mysearches']}</f:facet>
                   <a:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
                   <rich:tree

                   binding="#{webDocumentTreeModel.tree}"
