I'm running Primefaces 3.2 and JSF 2.0 on Glassfish 3.
I've tried a lot, to programatically set the selected node from a managed bean. That includes setting the selected node like this:
public void setSelectedTreeNode(String name) {
TreeNode root = treeBean.getRoot();
List<TreeNode> tree = root.getChildren();
for(TreeNode node:tree) {
if(node.getData().toString().contains(name)) {
System.out.println("found the node to select");
treeBean.setSelectedNode(node);
break;
}
}
RequestContext context = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.update(":navForm:treeSingle");
}
The "found the node to select" gets printed in the terminal, but the node is not selected in the Tree in the web page..
The tree is like this:
<h:form id="navForm">
<p:tree id="treeSingle" value="#{treeBean.root}" var="node"
selectionMode="single" styleClass="treeStyle"
selection="#{treeBean.selectedNode}"
cache="false"
>
<p:ajax event="select" listener="#{treeBean.onNodeSelect}" update=":mainForm" />
<p:treeNode>
<h:outputText value="#{node}" escape="false" />
</p:treeNode>
Edit: TreeBean is built like this:
@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class TreeBean implements Serializable {
private TreeNode root;
private TreeNode selectedNode;
public TreeBean() {
root = new DefaultTreeNode("Root", null);
TreeNode node0 = new DefaultTreeNode("Node 0", root);
TreeNode node1 = new DefaultTreeNode("Node 1", root);
TreeNode node2 = new DefaultTreeNode("Node 2", root);
TreeNode node00 = new DefaultTreeNode("Node 0.0", node0);
TreeNode node01 = new DefaultTreeNode("Node 0.1", node0);
TreeNode node10 = new DefaultTreeNode("Node 1.0", node1);
TreeNode node11 = new DefaultTreeNode("Node 1.1", node1);
TreeNode node000 = new DefaultTreeNode("Node 0.0.0", node00);
TreeNode node001 = new DefaultTreeNode("Node 0.0.1", node00);
TreeNode node010 = new DefaultTreeNode("Node 0.1.0", node01);
TreeNode node100 = new DefaultTreeNode("Node 1.0.0", node10);
}
public TreeNode getRoot() {
return root;
}
public TreeNode getSelectedNode() {
return selectedNode;
}
public void setSelectedNode(TreeNode selectedNode) {
this.selectedNode = selectedNode;
}
}
Does anyone have any idea on how to do this?
I solved it using:
node.setSelected(true);
I discovered that selecting the node is not enough for the "tree component" to expand from root node to selected node.
For this, I used the following approach. On the view :
<p:ajax event="expand" listener="#{tree.onExpand}"/>
on the java code:
public void onExpand(NodeExpandEvent event) {
expand(event.getTreeNode());
}
private void expand(TreeNode treeNode){
if (treeNode.getParent()!=null){
treeNode.getParent().setExpanded(true);
expand(treeNode.getParent());
}
}
To highlight selected tree node on client side from backing bean call selectNode() method on tree widget component.
First, set widget var attribute to jsf tree component:
<p:tree id="treeSingle" widgetVar="treeSingleWidget"
Than you can test it from browser console:
PrimeFaces.widgets.treeSingleWidget.selectNode($("#treeSingle\\:1"), true);
First method argument represents node jquery object which was obtained by it`s id(colon symbol must be escaped by two backslashes).
If second parameter set to false then node selection event will be fired.
Finally, make javascript call from backing bean:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("PrimeFaces.widgets.treeSingleWidget.selectNode(");
sb.append("$(\"#treeSingle\\\\:");
sb.append(selectedNode.getRowKey());
sb.append("\")");
sb.append(", true)");
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().execute(sb.toString());
P.S. to discover component js api type in browser console
PrimeFaces.widget.VerticalTree.prototype
In the above if
statement, when true, do a node.setSelected(true);
I use that to set nodes on as required. The reverse obviously has the reverse effect; it turns them off. My use case has been a boolean check box to turn all nodes on or off as I have quite a few running down the side of a tree. My actual code, involving a few methods, is therefore:-
public Boolean getSelectionState() {
return selectionState;
}
public void setSelectionState(Boolean selectionState) {
this.selectionState = selectionState;
}
public String getSelectLabel() {
return selectionState ? "De-select all" : "Select all";
}
/**
* Flips all nodes on or off depending on checkbox.
*/
public void onSelectChange() {
if (prefs.isDebug()) {
LOG.log(Level.INFO, "Value change event occured. Selection state is:{0}", selectionState);
}
for (TreeNode node : rootNode.getChildren()) {
node.setSelected(selectionState);
}
nodes = new ArrayList(rootNode.getChildren());
selectedNodes = nodes.toArray(new TreeNode[nodes.size()]);
mapDevices();
}
I am however, using 3.4 on JSF 2 on GF 3. I don't know if there is a difference.
Regs
Tim
please add node.setSelected(true)
below treeBean.setSelectedNode(node);
and it should work.
Tried with primefaces 5.2 and multiselection:
treeBean.setSelectedNode(new TreeNode[]{node});
works.
I'm working with Primefaces 3.0 deployed in Glassfish 3.1 Build 43;
The treeNode was or is selected automaticly with : myTreeNode.setSelected(true);
Example :
for (TreeNode m2:root.getChildren()) {
if (((Menu) m2.getData()).getId() != null) {
if (me.getId().equals(((Menu) m2.getData()).getId())) {
m2.setSelected(true);
break;
}
}
}
