We have out gui design as two panel left panel has richfaces tree component and right panel has meta-data of the node/leaf selected for editing.

Requirement is when meta-data of the node/leaf is modified, only that node/leaf should be rendered in the left panel in tree component. currently the whole panel along with all the nodes in the tree gets rendered. This causes serious performance issues if the tree is haveing larget set of data already displayed.

We tried specifying id to the rich:treeNode component and then giving re-render to that ide in the submit of right panel. that didn't seem to help. Probably missing something here.

appreciate help if anyone has come across this situation using richfaces tree component.
