Problem with rich:tree with added node edit capability
I am writing an application using Facelets and RichFaces( currently it's 3.14 but i am planning to move it on 3.20). The idea is to made a tree, populated with vendors, each having nodes with their address information. When user clicks Edit button next to the address node, the values become editable, and instead of Edit button, Save button appears, which when pressed updates address info.
Here is my code:
test.xhtml
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">
<a4j:form>
<h:outputText value="aaa" />
<rich:panel>
<rich:tree style="width:300px"
value="#{rootTreeNode.data}" var="item" nodeFace="#{item.type}">
<rich:treeNode type="vendor">
<h:outputText value="#{item.dataObj.vendorName}" />
</rich:treeNode>
<rich:treeNode type="addressRoot">
<h:outputText value="Addresses" />
</rich:treeNode>
<rich:treeNode type="address">
<table>
<tr>
<td><a4j:htmlCommandLink value="Edit"
action="#{item.startEdit}" /></td>
<td><h:outputText value="#{item.dataObj.address}" /></td>
<td><h:outputText value="#{item.dataObj.phoneNumber}" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</rich:treeNode>
<rich:treeNode type="address_edit">
<table>
<tr>
<td><a4j:htmlCommandLink value="Save"
action="#{item.endEdit}" /></td>
<td><h:inputText value="#{item.dataObj.address}" /></td>
<td><h:inputText value="#{item.dataObj.phoneNumber}" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</rich:treeNode>
</rich:tree>
</rich:panel>
</a4j:form>
</ui:composition>

}
public String startEdit()
{

return "";
}
public String endEdit()
{

}
}
The problem is that when i set debug point on method TreeNodeImpl.endEdit() - this breakpoint never hits! I even changed event on Save button to call the same method that is called by Edit button, that is startEdit(), but it is also never called. Am i missing something? I really need this to work.
