hi,
i am trying to create a context menu on a treenode and pass the "something" to the contextMenu actionListener...
By something i mean either
1) anything value client javascript
2) or better: a attribute of the treenode
3) or even better: the object (bean) wrapped by the treenode

i was experimenting with this quite a time now, my code looks like this so far:

.
.
.

 <rich:treeNode
 type="category"
 acceptedTypes="course"
 nodeClass="node category_node"
 selectedClass="node_active"
 iconLeaf="webresources/images/courseTree/category.gif"
 >
 <h:outputText value="#{item.name}" />

 <rich:componentControl event="oncontextmenu" for="categoryContextMenu" operation="show">
 <f:param value="#{item.name}" name="name" />
 </rich:componentControl>
 </rich:treeNode>

.
.
.
 <rich:contextMenu attached="false" id="categoryContextMenu" submitMode="ajax">
 <rich:menuItem ajaxSingle="true" submitMode="ajax" actionListener="#{CourseTreeJsfBean.editCategory}">{name} Bearbeiten
 <a4j:actionparam name="iris" assignTo="#{CourseTreeJsfBean.iris}" value="{name}"/>
 </rich:menuItem>
 <rich:menuItem ajaxSingle="true">Löschen</rich:menuItem>
 <rich:menuItem ajaxSingle="true">Kurs erstellen</rich:menuItem>
 </rich:contextMenu>

.
.
.

My Bean:

public class CourseTreeJsfBean
{
.
.
.
 private String iris;
.
.
.
 public void editCategory(ActionEvent event)
 {
 HtmlMenuItem item = (HtmlMenuItem) event.getComponent();

 }
.
.
.
}

... but, to be honest, i dont really know how to really do it.
hope somebody already did something like this and can just copy/paste a working code, or give me a hint.

thanks
BR
