I'm having a problem with a tree where a nodeSelectListener registered on the treeNode is not being fired; I'm reasonably sure I must be overlooking something obvious...

Additionally, I have had to add an additional (dummy parent) treeNode since the root node does not display.

The tree displays just fine and nodes expand colapse as required.

Page code:

<h:form>
 <h:panelGrid columns="2" width="100%">
 <rich:tree style="width:600px" switchType="client" value="#{BillExplosionBean.rootNode}" var="item" >
 <rich:treeNode reRender="selectedNode" ajaxSubmitSelection="true" nodeSelectListener="#{BillExplosionBean.processSelection}" >
 <h:outputText value="#{item.seq}" />
 <h:outputText value=": " />
 <h:outputText value="#{item.part}" />
 <h:outputText value=": " />
 <h:outputText value="#{item.usage}" />
 </rich:treeNode>
 </rich:tree>
 <h:outputText escape="false" value="Selected Node: #{BillExplosionBean.nodeTitle}" id="selectedNode" />
 </h:panelGrid>
 </h:form>

 /** Creates a new instance of BillExplosionBean */
 public BillExplosionBean() {
 }

// set-up root node and call recursive method
 public void retrieveBill(String parent){
 rootNode = new TreeNodeImpl();

 Bill bill = new Bill();
 bill.setPart(parent);
 // dummy parentNode since rootNode does not display
 TreeNode parentNode = new TreeNodeImpl();
 parentNode.setData(bill);
 rootNode.addChild(bill, parentNode);
 List<Bill> bills = dao.retrieveBillByParent(parent);
 walkTree(parentNode, bills);

 FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
 HttpSession httpSes = (HttpSession) ec.getSession(false);
 httpSes.setAttribute(AppConstants.BILL_EXPLOSION_BEAN, this);

 }



// recursive method to construct the tree
 private void walkTree(TreeNode parent, List<Bill> bills){
 for (Bill bill : bills){
 // do some processing to build the tree
 TreeNodeImpl nodeImpl = new TreeNodeImpl();
 nodeImpl.setData(bill);
 parent.addChild(bill, nodeImpl);
 // get the subordinate parts
 List<Bill> childBills = dao.retrieveBillByParent(bill.getPart());
 walkTree(nodeImpl, childBills);
 }
 }
// node selection event
 public void processSelection(NodeSelectedEvent event) {
 HtmlTree tree = (HtmlTree) event.getComponent();
 nodeTitle = (String) tree.getRowData();
 selectedNodeChildren.clear();
 TreeNode currentNode = tree.getModelTreeNode(tree.getRowKey());
 if (currentNode.isLeaf()){
 selectedNodeChildren.add((String)currentNode.getData());
 }else
 {
 Iterator<Map.Entry<Object, TreeNode>> it = currentNode.getChildren();
 while (it!=null &&it.hasNext()) {
 Map.Entry<Object, TreeNode> entry = it.next();
 selectedNodeChildren.add(entry.getValue().getData().toString());
 }
 }
 }
