    How to keep the richfaces tree state across requests?

    seammer

      I only heard about that we can bind componentState to treeState with switchType="ajax".
      Does anyone know how to do that?
      Please help me with a few sample code both in the backing bean and JSF page.

      Thanks in advance.

          Yeah,
          I know.

          Very simple really, just put a TreeState object in the backing bean and use the componentState" attribute of the rich:tree.

          I think you can find some more info by searching the forum, if not let me know and i'll write some code down (not at work atm, in another country).

          I still wish a richfaces developer could comment on if it is possible to preserve the tree state without using ajax switchType. Would be nice to hear from someone who knows their stuff.

            Thanks for your kind reply Mike.
            I looked for almost everywhere and can could not find that kind of code.
            Do you mind if you could share a piece of code especially in the backing bean?
            I have a clue for other switchType.
            However, I'am missing a part of the API to solve that problem.

              Hi,

              on the backing bean :

               private TreeState treeState;
              

              + getters and setters

              XHTML :
              <rich:tree id="treeId"
               value="#{treeData}"
               switchType="#{userMenu.switchType}"
               nodeSelectListener="#{userMenu.onSelect}"
               changeExpandListener="#{userMenu.onExpand}"
               var="item"
               iconExpanded="/_graphics/_icons/bookfolderopen.gif"
               iconCollapsed="/_graphics/_icons/bookfolder.gif"
               componentState="#{userMenu.treeState}"
               nodeFace="#{item.nodeFace}">
              
              ....
              </rich:tree>
              

              The important bit being the "componentState" attribute.
