I have al tree:

 <rich:tree switchType="ajax"
 ajaxSubmitSelection="true"
 preserveModel="request"
 style="width:300px" value="#{bean.tree}" var="item"
 nodeFace="#{item.type}">
 <rich:treeNode type="client" icon="img/clientIcon.png" iconLeaf="img/clientIcon.png">
 <h:outputText value="#{item.client.name}"/>
 </rich:treeNode>
 <rich:treeNode type="local" icon="img/localIcon.png" iconLeaf="img/localIcon.png" >
 <s:link value="#{item.local.name}" view="/areaSelect.xhtml" target="selectFrame"/>
 </rich:treeNode>
 <rich:treeNode type="area" icon="img/areaIcon.png" iconLeaf="img/areaIcon.png">
 <s:link value="#{item.area.name}" view="/indSelect.xhtml" target="selectFrame"/>
 </rich:treeNode>
 </rich:tree>

The bean.tree function always return the whole tree.

When i see the tree page and when i open a tree node, seam calls more than one time the function bean.tree

Some times the this do 2 calls, and other times do MANY calls, depends of tree attributes. But always the function is called more than one time.

Somebody can explain me why?
