RichTree - Am I Using It Right

[leesy]

Hi all,

I'm having a bit of a problem with my RichTree and I was wondering if someone can give what I have a quick once over to see if I'm doing things right. I'll post the code first so that the example makes more sense.

Seam page (well the part of it!)

<h:form id="typeForm"
 rendered="#{not empty typeHome.selectedTypeList.id}">
 <p>Selected Type = #{typeHome.selectedType}</p>
 <div><h:inputText value="#{typeListHome.example.value}" /> <h:commandButton
 action="#{typeListHome.update()}" value="Update" /></div>

 <div id="typeselector" class="clear">

 <rich:tree
 value="#{typeHome.selectedTypeList.asTreeNode}" var="item" showConnectingLines="false">
 <rich:treeNode selectedClass="selected">
 <h:outputText value="#{item.value}" />
 <a:support event="onclick" action="#{typeHome.select(item)}" reRender="typeForm" />
 </rich:treeNode>
 </rich:tree>

 <ul>
 <li><h:commandLink action="#{typeHome.moveFirst()}" styleClass="actionlink movefirst"
 immediate="true">
 First
 </h:commandLink></li>
 <li><h:commandLink action="#{typeHome.moveUp()}" styleClass="actionlink moveup"
 immediate="true">
 Up
 </h:commandLink></li>
 <li><h:commandLink action="#{typeHome.moveDown()}" styleClass="actionlink movedown"
 immediate="true">
 Down
 </h:commandLink></li>
 <li><h:commandLink action="#{typeHome.moveLast()}" styleClass="actionlink movelast"
 immediate="true">
 Last
 </h:commandLink></li>
 <li><h:commandLink styleClass="actionlink delete" action="#{typeHome.remove()}">
 <a:support event="onclick"
 onsubmit="return showDeleteConfirmation('type #{selectedType.value}')" />
 Delete
 </h:commandLink></li>
 <li><h:commandLink value="New" styleClass="actionlink add"
 action="#{typeHome.clearInstance()}" /></li>
 </ul></div>

Functions that create my tree node:

class TypeList {
// Stuff omitted...

public TreeNode getAsTreeNode() {
 TreeNode rootNode = new TreeNodeImpl();
 rootNode.setData(this);
 rootNode = addTreeNodeChildren(rootNode, getChildren());
 return rootNode;
 }

 public TreeNode addTreeNodeChildren(TreeNode parentNode, List<Type> children) {
 for (Type child : children) {
 TreeNode childNode = new TreeNodeImpl();
 childNode.setData(child);
 childNode.setParent(parentNode);

 if (child.getChildren() != null && child.getChildren().size() > 0) {
 childNode = addTreeNodeChildren(childNode, child.getChildren());
 }

 parentNode.addChild(child.getValue(), childNode);
 }

 return parentNode;
 }
}

TypeHome also has two properties on the conversation scope - selectedTypeList and selectedType.

Anyway, onto the problem... When I create a new type, I assign it to selectedType. I can then use the up, down and other move buttons to move that type around in it's typelist. I also want to have it so that when you click on a type in the richtree, that item is copied to selectedType. This is happening via the Ajax4J support tag in the treenode. Trouble is, when I come to click on the move buttons - nothing happens. No errors or anything like that. The action method is never invoked after I select the item from the richtree.

So can anyone see anything obviously wrong about how I am using the RichTree as for now I'm assuming that the way I select the items is somehow causing a problem (although it appears to select exactly the right thing).

Cheers for any help,
Lee
