Hi, I'm currently using the following function to expand to a particular node (using Seam 2GA and richfaces 3.1.2GA):
private void expandPathList(List<Integer> expansionPath) { UITree treeComponent = RichUtil.getTreeFromView() ; if (treeComponent != null) { List<Integer> incrementalPath = new ArrayList<Integer> () ; try { // need to expand each level of the tree explicitly // see http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=112799&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=10 for (Integer nodeId : expansionPath) { incrementalPath.add(nodeId) ; treeComponent.queueNodeExpand(new ListRowKey(incrementalPath)) ; } } catch (IOException e) { log.error("Cannot queue node expansion for path: #0", e, incrementalPath) ; } } else { log.debug("Cannot find tree component in the view - it may not be in the component tree yet?") ; } }
