Partial rich tree rendering - Help needed

[tabhi]

Hi

Have a richfaces tree structure as mentioned below.

 Root
 |
 |----Child1
 |
 |
 |----Ch1
 |
 |
 |---- Ch2

Now when I am trying to add the add another child to node Child1, say ch3, I would like to render only Child1 and its children and not the full tree (partial rendering)

Please find my rich tree as below

<rich:tree
 nodeSelectListener="#{treeBean.processSelection}"
 ajaxSubmitSelection="true"
 switchType="ajax"
 changeExpandListener="#{treeBean.processExpansion}"
 adviseNodeOpened="#{treeBean.adviseNodeOpened}"
 id="tree"
 ajaxSingle="false"
 adviseNodeSelected="#{treeBean.adviseNodeSelected}"
 value="#{treeBean.rootNode}" var="item" nodeFace="#{item.type}">

 <rich:treeNode type="node" iconLeaf="/treemanager/images/parent_norm.gif" icon="/treemanager/images/parent_norm.gif">
 <h:outputText value="#{item.name}" style="font-size:8pt;"/>
 </rich:treeNode>

 <rich:treeNode type="leaf" iconLeaf="/treemanager/images/orange.gif" icon="/treemanager/images/orange.gif">
 <h:outputText value="#{item.name}" style="font-size: 8pt;"/>
 </rich:treeNode>

 <rich:treeNode type="next" iconLeaf="/treemanager/images/next.gif" icon="/treeemanager/images/next.gif">
 <h:outputText value="#{item.name}" style="font-size: 8pt;color:blue"/>
 </rich:treeNode>

 <rich:treeNode type="prev" iconLeaf="/treemanager/images/previous.gif" icon="/treemanager/images/previous.gif">
 <h:outputText value="#{item.name}" style="font-size: 8pt; color:blue"/>
 </rich:treeNode>
 </rich:tree>

Can any one tell me how to implement it?

Thanks
Abhi

I would say the rendered-attribute, but that attribute is only available for the whole tree or for rich:treeNode. Since what you're asking for is conditional rendering of the parent and it's not supported, I think the only option you are left with is to:

change the rootNode in your backing bean when you add the third child, then rerender the tree.

Hope it helps.
