    Any help for a complete beginner, regarding a rich:tree? :):

    revolver106

      Hey guys! Firstly thank you for any help you can give me. First I will just explain that I have only been learning Java as a whole for a few months and am new to pretty much every aspect! I have been trying to get a tree menu working that loads at run time with values it pulls dynamically from the database according to the current user. The issue is actually getting the tree to display! I have looked at the exadel live demo and everything but something just is not clicking for me I guess... I have tried several approaches but generally the tree does not render at all.

      I decided to use the actual Seam generated List class similar to how it is used in a rich:datatable but when it loads the data I just get a classcastexception. I will post what I tried to do after but... I would greatly appreciate if anyone would just tell me everything that I need to do to render a dynamic tree. I'm not asking for you to write the code for me just an outline, like I will need the correct database schema, using an entityquery to pull the data from the database, then how do I get the tree to take up that data that the query has yielded?

      See I thought that the tree could accept any List object, of which AppdbList provides... It works in a rich:datatable, why not in a tree?

      Basically at the end of the day, the application needs to load the users data from the database which should look like this in a tree:
      Databases
      --Database1
      ---table x
      ---table y
      ----field x
      ----field y
      -----row x
      --Database2
      ---table x
      ----field x

      Something to that effect (the tree basically should store the layout of a database) and eventually will need to be able to perform crud operations... But that I will work out in time, the main thing for me at the moment is to get the tree to work! Here is the result when I tried to use the seam generated lists in a tree.. Thank you for your time!

      Now here is the view (nothing fancy just a tree implementation)

      </ui:composition>

      Here is the entity Appdb.java, seam generated:
      @Entity
      @Table(name = "APPDB", catalog = "dbman")
      public class Appdb {

      private Integer dbId;
      private int userId;
      private String dbName;
      public Appdb() {
      }

      public Appdb(int userId, String dbName) {
      this.userId = userId;
      this.dbName = dbName;
      }

      @Id
      @GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
      @Column(name = "DB_ID", unique = true, nullable = false)
      public Integer getDbId() {
      return this.dbId;
      }

      public void setDbId(Integer dbId) {
      this.dbId = dbId;
      }

      @Column(name = "USER_ID", nullable = false)
      public int getUserId() {
      return this.userId;
      }

      public void setUserId(int userId) {
      this.userId = userId;
      }

      @Column(name = "DB_NAME", nullable = false, length = 30)
      @NotNull
      @Length(max = 30)
      public String getDbName() {
      return this.dbName;
      }

      public void setDbName(String dbName) {
      this.dbName = dbName;
      }

      }

      And here is the seam generated AppdbList.java

      @Name("appdbList")
      public class AppdbList extends EntityQuery {

      private static final String EJBQL = "select appdb from Appdb appdb";

      private static final String[] RESTRICTIONS = {"lower(appdb.dbName) like lower(concat(#{appdbList.appdb.dbName},'%'))",};

      private Appdb appdb = new Appdb();

      public AppdbList() {
      setEjbql(EJBQL);
      setRestrictionExpressionStrings(Arrays.asList(RESTRICTIONS));
      setMaxResults(25);
      }

      public Appdb getAppdb() {
      return appdb;
      }
      } \*
