Lazy loading rich tree

[kewldude]

Yeah its been asked a couple of times here in the forum, unfortunately, nobody cares to reply or the reply lacks in depth information.

I'm giving it a try, can anyone give any hint on how to go about lazy loading using the rich tree component? Updating the wiki something like what the tree2 component has in myfaces wiki will help or maybe someone can give some hints or initial instructions then ill figure it out and will do the posting in the wiki.

Have you tried using the changeExpandListener to add new nodes to the tree as needed? For example, the simple case is you initially only have 2 levels loaded into the tree. When the user expands the 1st level, you add the 3rd level nodes to the subtree they expanded.

I am thinking I will eventually need lazy-loading also, and this is how I thought I would do it.

Looks like another candidate for in-dept example :-)

As an idea - you need to implement your own TreeNode, that will perform all lazy loading. On top of this ypou need to use "ajax" expand/collapse.

You TreeNode implementation must do whatever you need to load current node and all it children till required dept. Whenever getChildren() called on any node you cal load actual child data.

As an example you can look at richfaces-demo code here:
