Add_tree_data - tree node label cannot be null
I have a hierarchical tree displayed and when the user expands a node I'm calling add_tree_data using a record group to add items to the expanded node.
This works for the first node I expand, if I try to expand another node I get frm-47337 Tree node label cannot be null. I'm using the same record group as before so I cant see why I'm getting the error. Thanks for any help.
Hi,
Which line you are getting the below?

Display Tree node label/title on page
I'm using Apex version 4.
I have a tree and I want to display (below the tree) the label or title of the node value that's selected.
So my tree query is like:
SELECT (case when connect_by_isleaf = 1 then 0 when level = 1 then 1 else -1 end) status,
level,
office_name title,
null icon
How can I display the office_name on my report page below the tree? Can I somehow capture the value selected in a page item and then display that page item below the tree?
Thanks.Hi Ravindra,
I think it is possible, i have not done it but let me explain how we can do it.
In <htmlb:treeNode> tag there is an attribute 'text' in
which we specify title of that treeNode.
Now you define a page attribute 'treeNodeTitle' type
edpline and in onCreate assign it value <html><b>MyTreeNode</b></html>
When you click on this node then you do event handling
in onInputProcessing, there assign only 'MyTreeNode' to
treeNodeTitle.
sample code may look like this...
<htmlb:treeNode
id = 'treeNode1'
text = '<%=treeNodeTitle %>' >
</htmlb:treeNode>
Page Attribute
treeNodeTitle type edpline
in onCreate
treeNodeTitle = '<html><b>MyTreeNode</b></html>'
in onInputProcessing
in event-handling code for that treeNode write
treeNodeTitle = 'MyTreeNode'
I hope this will work.

Okay, either I�m missing something or I�m missing something.
I am trying to take the results from a query and store it in a tree. I just want one part of the data displayed at the label for the node. In this case the username.
When the user clicks on the node, I want to display the data stored. Now am I really missing something where the tree does not store anything else but the label? The next part of my problem and this more due to the fact I have not got listeners down yet. But when the user clicks on a node, what listener is called? What method do I use? Can you give me an example of a listener that will return something when I click on a node?
Thanks,

// get username from results.
connUser = retString.substring(1,retString.indexOf(",")-1);
node = treePanel.addObject(root, retObj);
// now what I would like to do is set the label of the node to connUser.
// something like node.setLable(connUser); But sadly I can't find
// that anywhere out there.
oraSql.close(conn);
}This is an outstanding enhancement - there is no way of doing it at the moment

Hierarchical tree node editable
hi,
is there a property to make a tree node label editable? it would be kind to click on the label, change it and save to DB, instead of copying its value into a text field.
thanksNot directly as Andreas said but alternately you can do by
You can set the label of NODE and update into the BASE table block and re-populate the tree
- on Double click the label call custom Stack canvas contains new label in text item and user will press OK
- Sets the Label of the Tree node
- Update the new label to the base table block
- Commit and re-populate the tree
if responses are helpful or correct please mark it

Using depth first traversal to add a new node to a tree with labels
Hello,
I'm currently trying to work my way through Java and need some advice on using and traversing trees. I've written a basic JTree program, which allows the user to add and delete nodes. Each new node is labelled in a sequential order and not dependent upon where they are added to the tree.
Basically, what is the best way to add and delete these new nodes with labels that reflect their position in the tree in a depth-first traversal?
ie: the new node's label will correctly reflect its position in the tree and the other labels will change to reflect this addition of a new node.
I've searched Google and can't seem to find any appropriate examples for this case.
My current code is as follows,
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
public class BasicTreeAddDelete extends JFrame implements ActionListener
private JTree tree;
private DefaultTreeModel treeModel;
private JButton addButton;
private JButton deleteButton;
private int newNodeSuffix = 1;
public BasicTreeAddDelete()
setTitle("Basic Tree with Add and Delete Buttons");
DefaultMutableTreeNode rootNode = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Root");
treeModel = new DefaultTreeModel(rootNode);
tree = new JTree(treeModel);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(tree);
getContentPane().add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
addButton = new JButton("Add Node");
addButton.addActionListener(this);
panel.add(addButton);
getContentPane().add(panel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
deleteButton = new JButton("Delete Node");
deleteButton.addActionListener(this);
panel.add(deleteButton);
getContentPane().add(panel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setSize(400, 300);
setVisible(true);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
DefaultMutableTreeNode selectedNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)tree.getLastSelectedPathComponent();
if(event.getSource().equals(addButton))
if (selectedNode != null)
// add the new node as a child of a selected node at the end
DefaultMutableTreeNode newNode = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("New Node" + newNodeSuffix++);
treeModel.insertNodeInto(newNode, selectedNode, selectedNode.getChildCount());
//make the node visible by scrolling to it
TreeNode[] totalNodes = treeModel.getPathToRoot(newNode);
TreePath path = new TreePath(totalNodes);
tree.scrollPathToVisible(path);
else if(event.getSource().equals(deleteButton))
//remove the selected node, except the parent node
removeSelectedNode();
public void removeSelectedNode()
DefaultMutableTreeNode selectedNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)tree.getLastSelectedPathComponent();
if (selectedNode != null)
//get the parent of the selected node
MutableTreeNode parent = (MutableTreeNode)(selectedNode.getParent());
// if the parent is not null
if (parent != null)
//remove the node from the parent
treeModel.removeNodeFromParent(selectedNode);
public static void main(String[] arg)
BasicTreeAddDelete basicTree = new BasicTreeAddDelete();
} Thank you for any help.> Has anybody got any advice, help or know of any
examples for this sort of problem.
Thank you.

Expanding an af:tree node by clicking onto its label
Dear all,
I am ussing af:tree same as in this link.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/fnimphius/js_disclose_tree_path.html
But may af:tree still can't expend clicking on node label.
I am using jdeve11.1.1.2.0, here is my code.
<af:resource type="javascript" >
function expandNode(event){
var _tree = event.getSource();
rwKeySet = event.getAddedSet();
var firstRowKey;
for(rowKey in rwKeySet){
firstRowKey = rowKey;
// we are interested in the first hit, so break out here
break;
if (_tree.isPathExpanded(firstRowKey)){
_tree.setDisclosedRowKey(firstRowKey,false);
else{
_tree.setDisclosedRowKey(firstRowKey,true);
</af:resource>
<af:tree id="sTree" value="#{MenuGenerator.treeModel}" var="node"

<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:outputText value="#{node.name}" />
</f:facet>
<af:clientListener method="expandNode" type="selection"/>
</af:tree>
With Regards,
WPhi Frank,
i get it too. but behaviour is different as i thought.
lets say i click on one of the node to expand it.
then i click on it again to collapse.
but i can't do it like this because my focus is still on that node.
i mean when i click on one node to expand/collapse then i click on it again to expand/collapse.
is it possible? and how to achieve this?
With Regards,

Expand tree node by clicking onto the node label
I have followed this example to expand the nodes with a clic on the tree :
[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/20-expand-tree-node-from-label-169156.pdf]
My code:
JSPX:
<af:resource type="javascript" source="js/glasspane.js"/>
<af:tree value="#{bindings.OpcionesPadreView1.treeModel}" var="node"
rowSelection="single" id="t1" partialTriggers=":::cbNuevCpta"
binding="#{pageFlowScope.GestionDocumentos.t1}"
selectionListener="#{bindings.OpcionesPadreView1.treeModel.makeCurrent}">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:commandImageLink text="#{node.Gesdopcach}" id="ot1"
action="#{bindings.LoadDir.execute}"
actionListener="#{bindings.LoadFile.execute}"
icon="/images/GestionDocumentos/folder20x20.png"
partialSubmit="true">
</af:commandImageLink>
</f:facet>
<af:clientListener method="expandTree" type="selection"/>
</af:tree>
Js:
function expandTree(evt) {
alert('In');
var tree = event.getSource();
rwKeySet = event.getAddedSet();
var firstRowKey;
for (rowKey in rwKeySet) {
firstRowKey = rowKey;
if (tree.isPathExpanded(firstRowKey)) {
tree.setDisclosedRowKey(firstRowKey, false);
}else {
tree.setDisclosedRowKey(firstRowKey, true);
When i clic on the labels the tree doesn't expand, the alert also is not shown. The problem could be the <af:resource>, but i have this tag in all my pages and all javascripts work. I also changed the commandLink with an outputText, but doesn't work.
Edited by: Miguel Angel on 21/06/2012 12:53 PMAt least the call the javascript works, but this line doesn't work, anybody know why?:

Q about tree nodes w. same label (different branches)
Apparently renderer gets confused if it needs to show two nodes with the same label, even though they may be on different branches of the tree. In the pic below, nodes marked "role-read-only" get expanded/closed together - you click on one, they get expanded/closed simultaneously. You hover a mouse on one, the other one gets highlighted.
The tree is in the form of ArrayCollections (with children being other ArrayCollections). How to change this behavior? Am I missing a comparator in a tree or a tree nodes (if so - what's the format?)?
Thanks in advance!To all who'd like to know the answer.
Problem was that I used Proxy to wrap around business object representing a node. So each node was a Proxy. As soon as I changed wrappers to not be Proxy everything worked fine.
I came to solution after discovering that the described behavior is typical if you use _the_same_ object for two different nodes.
Apparently flex fails to properly compare two different Proxy objects and thinks they are the same. Or perhaps they ARE the same under the hood. -
Tree control parent node label
The following code works fine (except the part in caps, which
isn't code). Suggestions?
private function changeEvt(event:Event):void {
var theData:String = ""
if (event.currentTarget.selectedItem.@value) {
theData = " Data: " +
event.currentTarget.selectedItem.@value;
trace(event.currentTarget.selectedItem.@label + theData);
//trace(NEED PARENT NODE LABEL HERE IF IT EXISTS);
}OK. So I stopped looking too soon. In my case:
trace(browserTree.selectedItem.parent().@label); -
Help with building a JTree using tree node and node renderers
Hi,
I am having a few problems with JTree's. basically I want to build JTree from a web spider. The webspide searches a website checking links and stores the current url that is being processed as a string in the variable msg. I wan to use this variable to build a JTree in a new class and then add it to my GUI. I have created a tree node class and a renderer node class, these classes are built fine. can someone point me in the direction for actually using these to build my tree in a seperate class and then displaying it in a GUI class?

Also the jtree is not showing the window that I want it to and I am not too sure why. could you have a look to see why? i think it needs a fresh pair of eyes.

Tree and Tree Node Components - Threadinar7
Hi All,
This is the seventh in the "Threadinar" series , please see Threadinar6 at
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=100601 for details
In this Threadinar we will focus on the
"Tree" and "Tree Node" Components
Let us begin our discussion with the Tree Component.
Tree Component
You can drag the Tree component from the Palette's Basic category to the Visual Designer to create a hierarchical tree structure with nodes that can be expanded and collapsed, like the nodes in the Outline window. When the user clicks a node, the row will be highlighted. A tree is often used as a navigation mechanism.
A tree contains Tree Node components, which act like hyperlinks. You can use a Tree Node to navigate to another page by setting its url property. You can also use a Tree Node to submit the current page. If the the Tree Node's action property is bound to an action event handler, selecting the node automatically submits the page. If the Tree Node's actionListener property is bound to an action listener, opening or closing the node automatically submits the page. You set Tree Node properties in the Tree Node Component Properties window.
* If you use this component to navigate between pages of a portlet, do not use the url property to link to a page. Instead, use the Navigation editor to set up your links to pages.
* Events related to tree node selection do not work correctly in portlets because the component uses cookies to pass the selected node id back and forth, and cookies are not correctly handled by the portlet container. You cannot handle tree node selection events in portlet projects.
Initially when you drop a tree on a page, it has one root node labeled Tree and one subnode labeled Tree Node 1. You can add more nodes by dragging them to the tree and dropping them either on the root node to create top level nodes or on existing nodes to create subnodes of those nodes. You can also right-click the Tree or any Tree Node and choose Add Tree Node to add a subnode to the node.
Additionally, you can work with the component in the Outline window, where the component and its child components are available as nodes. You can move a node from level to level easily in the Outline window, so you might want to work there if you are rearranging nodes. You can also add and delete tree nodes in the Outline window, just as in the Visual Designer.
The Tree component has properties that, among other things, enable you change the root node's displayed text, change the appearance of the text, specify if expanding or collapsing a node requires a trip to the server, and specify whether node selection should automatically open or close the tree. To set the Tree's properties, select the Tree component in your page and use the Tree Component Properties window.
The following Tutorial ("Using Tree Component") is very useful to learn using Tree components
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/sitemaptree.html
See Also the Technical Article - "Working with the Tree Component and Tree Node Actions"
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/reference/techart/2/tree_component.html
Tree Node Component
You can drag the Tree Node component from the Palette's Basic category to a Tree component or another tree node in the Visual Designer to create a node in a hierarchical tree structure, similar to the tree you see in the Outline window.
The tree node is created as a subnode of the node on which you drop it. If you drop the node on the tree component itself, a new node is created as a child of the root node. You can see the hierarchical structure clearly in the Outline window, where you can also easily move nodes around and reparent them.
You can also add a tree node either to a Tree component or to a Tree Node component by right-clicking the component and choosing Add Tree Node.
A Tree Node component by default is a container for an image and can be used to navigate to another page, submit the current page, or simply open or close the node if the node has child nodes.
* If you select the Tree Node component's node Tree Node icon in the Outline window, you can edit its properties in the Tree Node Properties window. You can set things like whether or not the Tree Node is expanded by default, the tooltip for the Tree Node, the label for the tree node, and the Tree Node's identifier in your web application.
* You can use a Tree Node to navigate to another page by setting its url property. You can also use a Tree Node to submit the current page. If the the Tree Node's action property is bound to an action event handler, selecting the node automatically submits the page. If the Tree Node's actionListener property is bound to an action listener, opening or closing the node automatically submits the page.
- Note: If you use this component to navigate between pages of a portlet, do not use the url property to link to a page. Instead, use the Navigation editor to set up your links to pages. In addition, events related to tree node selection do not work correctly in portlets because the component uses cookies to pass the selected node id back and forth, and cookies are not correctly handled by the portlet container. You cannot handle tree node selection events in portlet projects.
* If you select the image in the Tree Node, you can see that its icon property is set to TREE_DOCUMENT. If you right-click the image on the page and choose Set Image, you can either change the icon to another one or choose your own image in the Image Customizer dialog box. For more information on working with an image in a tree node, see Image component.
- Note: The image used in a tree node works best if it is 16x16 or smaller. Larger images can work, but might appear overlapped in the Visual Designer. You can right-click the component and choose Preview in Browser feature to check the appearance of the images.
Please share your comments, experiences, additional information, questions, feedback, etc. on these components.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------One challenge I had experience was to make the tree
always expanded on all pages (I placed my tree menu
in a page fragment so I can just import it in my
pages).Did you solve this problem. It would be interesting to know what you did.
To expand a node you call setExpanded on the node. Here is some code from a tutorial that a coworker of mine is working on.
In the prerender method:
Integer expandedPersonId = getRequestBean1().getPersonId();
// If expandedPersonId is null, then we are not coming back
// from the Trip page. In that case we do not want any trip
// nodes to be pre-selected (highlighted) due to browser cookies.
if (expandedPersonId==null) {
try {
HttpServletRequest req =(HttpServletRequest)
getExternalContext().getRequest();
Cookie[] cookies = req.getCookies();
//Check if cookies are set
if (cookies != null) {
for (int loop =0; loop < cookies.length; loop++) {
if (cookies[loop].getName().equals
("form1:displayTree-hi")) {
cookies[loop].setMaxAge(0);
HttpServletResponse response =(HttpServletResponse)
getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.addCookie(cookies[loop]);
} catch (Exception e) {
error("Failure trying to clear highlighting of selected node:" +
e.getMessage());
} ... (in a loop for tree nodes)...
personNode.setExpanded(newPersonId.equals
(expandedPersonId));In the action method for the nodes:
// Get the client id of the currently selected tree node
String clientId = displayTree.getCookieSelectedTreeNode();
// Extract component id from the client id
String nodeId = clientId.substring(clientId.lastIndexOf(":")+1);
// Find the tree node component with the given id
TreeNode selectedNode =
(TreeNode) this.getForm1().findComponentById(nodeId);
try {
// Node's id property is composed of "trip" plus the trip id
// Extract the trip id and save it for the next page
Integer tripId = Integer.valueOf(selectedNode.getId().substring(4));
getRequestBean1().setTripId(tripId);
} catch (Exception e) {
error("Can't convert node id to Integer: " +
selectedNode.getId().substring(4));
return null;
It would also be great if I can set the tree
readonly where the user cannot toggle the expand
property of the tree (hope this can be added to the
tree functionality). -
How to highlight a tree node programmatically
Problem
=====
Just like a typical management software, I have a navigation tree presenting a list of objects (let's say toasters) on the left panel. The content panel on the right side presents the details of a toaster, when the user selects the toaster on the navigation tree. On the toaster details panel, I would like to have a hyper link referring to another toaster - associated to the selected toaster. On clicking on the hyperlink, I would like to display the details of the associated toaster and the navigation tree node for the associated toaster being highlighted.
For example, BUI presents the following now:
+ Toasters | Toaster 1 Details [Refresh]
+ <toaster1> |
+ toaster2 | ... toaster3
+ toaster3 |
toaster1 is selected on the navigation tree. The contents panel displays Toaster 1 details, which has a hyper link for toaster3.
When the user click on toster3 on the contents panel, I would like to see the following
+ Toasters | Toaster 3 Details [Refresh]
+ toaster1 |
+ toaster2 | ...
+ <toaster3> |
My Trial
=====
ADF Rich Client 11.1.2.3 is used for my development.
Jspx code for the navigation tree looks like this:
<af:tree id="navTree" ...>
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="nodePgl">
<af:switcher facetName="#{stamp.outcome!=null?'actnode':'noactnode'}" ...>
<f:facet name="actnode">
<af:commandLink id="leafLink" text="#{stamp.label}" action="#{stamp.actionOutcome}">
<af:setActionListener from="#{stamp.key}" to="#{treeHandler.selectedMenuItem}"/>
</af:commandLink>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="noactnode">
<af:outputText id="notLeafText" value="#{stamp.label}"/>
</f:facet>
</af:switcher>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</f:facet>
</af:tree>
The hyper link on the contents panel looks like this:
<af:iterator var="toaster" value="#{toastData.toasters}">
<af:commandLink text="#{toaster}" action="#{toasterHandler.goToToaster}">
<f:param name="toasterId" value="#{toaster}"/>
<af:setActionListener from="#{toaster}" to="#{treeHandler.selectedToaster}"/>
</af:commandLink>
</af:iterator>
I got some tips from this forum (cannot find thread at the moment) and implemented the treeHandler.selectedToaster method as follows:
// getSelectionState returns selStat, which is instantiated like the following:
// RowKeySet selStat = new RowKeySetTreeImpl();
// TreeModel model = (TreeModel) menuModel.getWrappedData();
// selStat.setCollectionModel(model);
// selStat.setContained(true);
RowKeySet rowKeySet = getSelectionState();
rowKeySet.removeAll();
// synthesize the rowKey for the selected toaster
// if the toaster found in the toaster node list,
// rowKey should look like [0, <rowIdx of toaster>]
ArrayList<Integer> rowKey = new ArrayList<Integer>();
rowKey.add(0);
rowKey.add(new Integer(rowIdx));
TreeModel model = (TreeModel) menuModel.getWrappedData();
model.setRowKey(rowKey);
model.setRowIndex(rowIdx);
rowKeySet.add();
This seems to work most of times except when I refresh the contents details panel using partial page rendering.
I get NullPointerException on the call to rowKeySet.removeAll().
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.RowKeySetTreeImpl._selectAll(RowKeySetTreeImpl.java:459)
at org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.RowKeySetTreeImpl.removeAll(RowKeySetTreeImpl.java:146)
In my observation, this NPE happens when rowKeySet.size() returns 1 but rowKeySet.iterator() does not return any entries.
I suspect this is a bug on RowKeySetTreeImpl but not sure.
Help Need
=======
1. What is the reasonably right way to highlight the tree node for my problem?
2. If my trial is one way to do it, how can I get around the NPE? I cannot change ADF Rich Client library at this point.
Any help/suggestion/advise would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JeongtaeI did this, to programmatically expand a tree node, you can try the same and set the row key to highlight.
private RowKeySet disclosedTreeRowKeySet = new RowKeySetImpl();
public void rowDisclosureListener(RowDisclosureEvent rowDisclosureEvent)
Iterator added = rowDisclosureEvent.getAddedSet().iterator();
if (added!=null)
while (added.hasNext())
Object rowKey = added.next();
//disclosedTreeRowKeySet.clear();
List path = (List)rowKey;
for( int i=0; i< path.size(); i++ )
List<Object> nodePath = new ArrayList<Object>();
for( int j=0; j<i; j++ )
nodePath.add( path.get( j ) );
disclosedTreeRowKeySet.add( nodePath );
disclosedTreeRowKeySet.add( rowKey );
System.out.println( "disclosed Keys...... " + disclosedTreeRowKeySet );
private void expandSelectedNode(RowKeySet addedObj) {
if (sourceTreeTable != null) {
Iterator added = (Iterator)addedObj.iterator();
if (added!=null)
while (added.hasNext())
Object rowKey = added.next();
List path = (List)rowKey;
for( int i=0; i< path.size(); i++ )
List<Object> nodePath = new ArrayList<Object>();
for( int j=0; j<i; j++ )
nodePath.add( path.get( j ) );
disclosedTreeRowKeySet.add( nodePath );
disclosedTreeRowKeySet.add( rowKey );
sourceTreeTable.setDisclosedRowKeys(disclosedTreeRowKeySet);

How to resize a custom tree node like you would a JFrame window?
Hello,
I am trying to resize a custom tree node like you would a JFrame window.
As with a JFrame, when your mouse crosses the Border, the cursor should change and you are able to drag the edge to resize the node.
However, I am faced with a problem. Border cannot detect this and I dont want to use a mouse motion listener (with a large number of nodes, I fear it will be inefficient, calculating every node's position constantly).

TextAreaNode2(ResizeNode view_) {
gNode = new NodeGUI2(view_);
}the node on the tree is only painted on using the
renderer to do the painting work. A mouse listener
has to be added to the tree, and when moved over an
area, you have to determine if you are over the
border and which direction to update the cursor and
to know which way to resize when dragged. One of the
BasicRootPaneUI has some code that can help determine
that.Thanks for replying. What is your opinion on this alternative idea that I just had?
I am wondering if it might be easier to have a toggle button in the node that you click when you want to resize the node. Then a mouse-down and dragging the mouse will resize the node. Mouse-up will reset the toggle button, and so will mouse down in an invalid area.

Useful Code of the Day: Hideable Tree Nodes
Someone posted about how they could selectively hide tree nodes, and I already had this AbstractTreeModel class (which does some things DefaultTreeModel does and some it doesn't) and a concrete subclass for TreeNode objects, so I was thinking how one could do hideable nodes. So I came up with this solution.
There's 4 classes here:
- AbstractTreeModel is the base for the concrete TreeNodeTreeModel
- TreeNodeTreeModel extends AbstractTreeModel to support TreeNodes (DefautlMutableTreeNode, etc.)
- HideableMutableTreeNode which is a DefautlMutableTreeNode subclass which has a visible field (with is/set methods, of course).
- HideableTreeModel is the hideable model which is a subclass of TreeNodeTreeModel.
A HideableMutableTreeNode can be set invisible directly, but the tree still needs to be notified to update. So it's best to use the methods in HideableTreeModel which set a node's visibility which notify the tree of changes accordingly. Methods are also provided to check a full path's visibility or ensure a node including all parent nodes are visible.
A HideableTreeModel can take any TreeNode class, it doesn't have to be all HideableMutableTreeNodes, but only HideableMutableTreeNodes can be made invisible, of course. Any other TreeNode type would just be considered visible.
Hiding nodes works basically by making the tree think there's less nodes then there are. And to do this, the node counts and child index search just works by looping thru the parent's children. This has potential perfomance drawbacks of course, since one has to loop thru the node's children to get nodes every time. This could be alleviated by not supporting non-hideable nodes changing the internal maintenance of HideableMutableTreeNode contents. But I'll leave that to whoever really needs it. It shouldn't be a problem if there are are a relatively small set of child nodes in any given parent.
Also, note that the root node in the model cannot be made invisible, cuz it'd be redundant since JTree can be set to hide the root node.

I'm not trying to show anyone up here, but having just built a tree model for displaying an XML document in a tree, I thought this seemed like a neat exercise.
I implemented this very differently from the @OP. I only have one class, HiddenNodeTreeModel. All the hidden node data is stored in the model itself in my class. The advantage of what I've created is it will work with any TreeModel. The disadvantage is that I think it's not going to be very scalable - the additional computing to get the number of child nodes and to adjust indexes is heavy. So if you need a scalable solution definitely don't use this.
Anyway here you go

Assigning Selected Tree Node Value To An Item
Hi guys,
I want to assign selected tree node's value to a page item. This item can be a textbox or a label (display only). How can i do that? I tried to use "Selected Node Page Item" property which is available on Tree Attributes. But I couldn't assign the value without refreshing whole page.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks.Hi ,
Thank you that was exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't find how to pass database column to javascript as an input parameter. So thanks for your help. I made a couple of correction :
1) I put additional ' characters to ('''||"NAME"||''') this part because my field is varchar.
select case when connect_by_isleaf = 1 then 0
when level = 1 then 1
else -1
end as status,
level,
NAME as title,
null as icon,
"ID" as value,
null as tooltip,
'javascript:setFObjName('''||"NAME"||''')' As link
from "#OWNER#"."TABLE_NAME"
start with "PID" is null
connect by prior "ID" = "PID"
2) In script I have added ' character before and after page item.
function setFObjName(pobjName){
$s('P1_OBJ_NAME', pobjName);
So it works. Thanks tfor your help.
