I extended the RichFaces TreeNodeImpl to store another piece of data that I would need when that row was selected. When I select a node in my rich tree, I execute code in my NodeSelectListener.  In my listener, I want to look at the TreeNodeImpl from which the tree was built, but I don't know how to get the TreeNodeImpl from the NodeSelectedEvent parameter. 

Is there any way to get the TreeNodeImpl object from the NodeSelectedEvent?

Thanks in advance.
