Hi,

I have a rich:tree holding some nodes. For the selected node I want to create a component (javax.faces.HtmlInputText, org.richfaces.Calendar and some others) next to the tree. The component type depends on the selected tree node.

To create the components I am using the code:

{code}

    public void createInputComponent()
     {
         FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
         Application application = context.getApplication();
         ExpressionFactory factory = application.getExpressionFactory();
         ValueExpression expression =  factory.createValueExpression(context.getELContext(), "#{myBean.value}",  String.class);
        

        UIInput input = (UIInput)  application.createComponent(cp.getVisualComponent());

        input.setValueExpression("value", expression);
         input.setId("paramValue");
         input.getChildren().add(support);

         setInputPanelGroup((HtmlPanelGroup)application.createComponent(HtmlPanelGroup.COMPONENT_TYPE));
         mInputPanelGroup.getChildren().clear();
         mInputPanelGroup.getChildren().add(input); 
     }

{code}

The tree is defined like this:

{code:xml}

     <rich:tree id="parametersTree"
            value="#{myBean.parameterNodes}"
            nodeSelectListener="#{myBean.processTreeSelection}"
            reRender="paramValuePanel, paramValueInputPanel"
            ajaxSubmitSelection="true"
            adviseNodeSelected="#{myBean.nodeSelected}"
            var="parameterName" >
            <rich:treeNode>
                <h:outputText value="#{parameterName}" />
            </rich:treeNode>
        </rich:tree>

{code}

I am setting the new components in a panel group defined like this:

{code:xml}

     <rich:panel id="paramValueInputPanel" >
                <h:panelGroup id="paramValueInputs" binding="#{myBean.inputPanelGroup}" layout="block" >
                </h:panelGroup>
        </rich:panel>

{code}
