Hi,
I set up the following tree with contextmenu for each node and it works pretty fine.
<h:form>
<rich:tree stateAdvisor="#{materialTreeStateAdvisor}" switchType="ajax" componentState="#{materialTree.componentState}">
<rich:recursiveTreeNodesAdaptor roots="#{materialTree.root}"
var="node" nodes="#{node.children}">
<rich:treeNode>
<h:outputText value="#{node.material.name}" />
<h:panelGroup>
<rich:contextMenu event="oncontextmenu" attached="true"
submitMode="none">
<rich:menuItem submitMode="ajax" value="Create Material"
action="#{navigationHandler.doCreateMaterial}"
reRender="material_edit_panel">
</rich:menuItem>
</rich:contextMenu>
</h:panelGroup>
</rich:treeNode>
</rich:recursiveTreeNodesAdaptor>
</rich:tree>
</h:form>
doCreateMaterial is action methode which navigates to a new page where you can create then a new item.
The user right clicks now on a node and the contextmenu of the node opens. The problem is, that the I don't see any possiblity to pass the id of that node to the next page.
f:param does not work because doCreateMaterial is just a action method. i can't change it to an actionlistener because i need it for navigation.
because rich:tree needs to be nested in a h:form tag, i can't wrap every contextmenu within a h:form. thus i can't use a hidden field which saves the current id.
one possibility i see is to create a h:commandlink within the menuitem. i could put there the url of the next page and pass arguments with a get parameter. What i don't like on that solution is that i bypass the jsf navigation completly.
Are there any suggestions how i could do it in a nice jsf way?
Best regards,
STefan.
