Tree - Rerender selectedNode from commandLink

[leptronic]

Is it possible to rerender the selectedNode of a tree from a commandLink?

Code below. The commandLink adds a child item at the server side, but the node (already expanded) does not refresh. If I collapse then reexpand, it shows up.

Is there a better or standard way to do this (add a child node to a node that is already expanded)?

Thanks.

<h:form>
<a4j:commandLink actionListener="#{simpleTreeBean.addItem}" reRender="selectedNode">
<h:outputText value="Add" />
</a4j:commandLink>
<rich:tree style="width:300px;" nodeSelectListener="#{simpleTreeBean.processSelection}"
reRender="selectedNode" ajaxSubmitSelection="true" switchType="ajax"
value="#{simpleTreeBean.treeNode}" var="item" changeExpandListener="#{simpleTreeBean.processExpand}"
nodeFace="#{item.type}">
<rich:treeNode type="Taxonomy" iconLeaf="/images/taxonomy.gif" icon="/images/taxonomy.gif">
<h:outputText value="#{item.data}" />
</rich:treeNode>
<rich:treeNode type="Term" iconLeaf="/images/term1.gif" icon="/images/term1.gif">
<h:outputText value="#{item.data}" />
</rich:treeNode>
<rich:treeNode type="New" iconLeaf="/images/term1.gif" icon="/images/term1.gif">
<h:inputText></h:inputText>
</rich:treeNode>
</rich:tree>
</h:form>

Sorry, I see what my problem was. My tree is now contained within a rerenderable control and it is working correctly.

I seem to be having a very similar problem. Can you tell me how you solved this? What is a "rerenderable control"?

Sorry, I'm new at the a4j stuff, and I wasn't sure if you could rerender every control, but I was referring to a panel of some sort.

What I did was contain my tree within a panel. Then set the rerender attribute on the commandLink to the id of your panel...or you can probably just assign an id to the tree itself and set the rerender attribute on the commandLink to that id.
