Attaching an event to a tree node
Hi there, hope to trigger a simple event when a tree node is click such as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:XML id="treeData" xmlns="">
<root>
<node label="Section 1" >
<node label="Section 1-1" >
<node label="Section 1-1-1" click="lbl1.text='section 1-1-1';" />
<node label="Section 1-1-2" click="lbl1.text='section 1-1-2';"/>
<node label="Section 1-1-3">
<node label="Section 1-1-3-1" />
<node label="Section 1-1-3-2" />
</node>
<node label="Section 1-1-4" />
</node>
<node label="Section 1-2" >
<node label="Section 1-2-1" />
<node label="Section 1-2-2" />
</node>
</node>
<node label="Section 2" >
<node label="Section 2-1" >
<node label="Section 2-1" />
</node>
</node>
</root>
</mx:XML>
<mx:Tree width="246" left="10" top="10" id="tree" labelField="@label" dataProvider="{treeData.node}" height="540"/>
<mx:Label id="lbl1" x="395" y="155" text="Label1" width="151" />
</mx:Application>
The tree and its children were rendered properly on screen but clicking the relevant nodes didn't trigger the event. Please advise.

I didn't see a click handler in your code either. Try adding itemClick
though so you don't see clicks on scrollbars.
<mx:Tree width="246" left="10" top="10" id="tree" labelField="@label"
dataProvider="{treeData.node}" height="540" itemClick="trace(event)" /

Action Event Handler on Tree nodes
I have an actionListener event handler registered on a tree node as follows:
<af:tree value="#{bindings.SomeViewObj1.treeModel}" var="node" rowSelection="none" id="t1"
binding="#{EditFormBean.tree1}" displayRow="selected" summary="Tree"
partialTriggers=":::cb1 :::cb2">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl3">
<af:outputText value="#{node}" id="ot1"/>
<af:commandImageLink text="E" id="cil3" partialSubmit="true"
*actionListener="#{EditFormBean.onEdit}"* binding="#{EditFormBean.cmdImageLink}">
<af:setPropertyListener from="#{node.hiertType.structureDefName}" type="action"
to="#{viewScope.formView}"/>
<f:attribute name="node" value="#{node}"/>
</af:commandImageLink>
<af:commandImageLink text="A" id="cil1"/>
<af:commandImageLink text="D" id="cil2"/>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</f:facet>
</af:tree>
I have at each node stamp facet a panelGroup Layout that contains the node value and a command Image link. The tree has two hierarchical levels. When I press the command Image link on the first tree noe level, the actioListener method in teh managed bean (EditFormBean.onEdit) gets called. When I press the same commandImage link on the second tree level, the same action listener does not get called. I need to get past this problem before I code the actionListener which needs to set the current row in the iterator based on the key selected on the tree node. I simply have a print statement in the action listener method which shows something when the first level command image link is clicked but does not print anything when the second level command image link is clicked.
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.0
There is also adf faces code around this snippet that uses an af:switcher facea component to display the appropriate form based on the nodee level in which the comman d image link is clicled but it is irrelevant to the problem I am getting.
Any help on that would be appreciatedHi,
hard to say . Didn't see this before. Can yoiu remove "binding="#{EditFormBean.cmdImageLink}"" from the command link. The tree stamps its children so that it doesn't make sense to keep a handle to the component instance

How to run a form using tree node selection??
hi...
i have populated a tree with all the form name.There is a particular id for every form.i want to show a form using tree node selection.What i did...i write a trigger in button's click event when the tree node is selected then i get a id.if id=1 then open_form('test.fmx').when i want to execute this code then it is showing the same form 2 times.Can anyone help me to solve my problem?If so plz tell me what code i have to write to show a form using node selection?.I've done the same thing, and i think it works fine.

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). -
Checking if user has selected or deselected a tree node
Hello,
In the event handler of the On Action event of a tree node, I need to decide whether the user has selected the element or deselected it.
I thought to use the following:
data: lo_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
lo_element type ref to if_wd_context_element,
l_element_selected type abap_bool.
first I tried
* need to find out if this element was selected or deselected!
l_element_selected = context_element->is_selected( ).
but it didn't work - so I tried
lo_node = context_element->get_node( ).
lo_element = lo_node->get_lead_selection( ).
if lo_element = context_element.
l_element_selected = abap_true.
else.
l_element_selected = abap_false.
endif.
This did work.
I'm slightly confused as to why the two did not give the same result?
I can see in the implementation why - gotta love being able to see how the engine works - but why is the node selection table not set? For future reference, is there some flow that has to happen before the selection gets set but after the lead selection is made? Or is this just an error in the handling of the tree node element?
Cheers,
ChrisOne would wonder why there is no is_Lead_Selected method. Having just the is _ Multi_ Selected method is quite confusing. Especially when the method description is "True, if element is selected in the node". One would assume that this would include lead selection.
Then again - when you consider the mismatch between methods that return values and methods that export values, this lack of a is_Lead_Selected method would be low down on my list of things to fix to make WDA more consistent.
Having Get_Static_Attributes return the data rather than export it would be much higher on my list - ( get_static_attributes_ref does actually return the reference to the data - talk about inconsistent! ) -
Confirmation Dialog when clicking on Tree Node.
I am working on Oracle Apex 4.2.0.00.27 and I have the following problem:
The code below shows the definition of a tree. The tree displays records from the table ACTIVITIES in hierarchical structure.
When user clicks on a leaf/node of the tree he will be redirected to another page where the details of each Activity/leaf/node are displayed.
The tree is part of a page where I have established a functionality to check for changes on the input fields of the page and inform the user when he tries to redirect without first saving the changes he made.
What I want to do is:
WHEN user clicks on a node of the tree AND he hasn't saved any changes he made
THEN
trigger a confirmation dialog.
IF
he clicks OK he is redirected to the node details page as defined on the tree definition:
f?p=&APP_ID.:10:'||:APP_SESSION||'::::P10_ID:'||"ID"
ELSE if he clicks CANCEL
he stays on the same page.
The condition to trigger the confirmation box is:
if (document.getElementById('P0_CHANGES_DETECTED').value == 1)
where P0_CHANGES_DETECTED is a universal hidden text field that is set to +'1'+ every time a change is made.
and here is the tree definition:
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,
decode(PARENT_ID,null,null, 'f?p=&APP_ID.:10:'||:APP_SESSION||'::::P10_ID:'||"ID") as link
from "#OWNER#"."ACTIVITIES"
where GROUP_ID = :P20_GROUP_ID
start with "ID" in (select ID from "#OWNER#"."ACTIVITIES" where GROUP_ID = :P20_GROUP_ID and PARENT_ID is null)
connect by prior "ID" = "PARENT_ID"
order siblings by "ID"
I hope it is clear what I want to achieve. Thanks in advance.So you'll want to bind an event to all tree nodes that checks for the value and then fires the confirmation if there value is 1.
Try something like this:
- first, give your static ID attribute in your tree the value of tree_static_id (or whatever you want. just replace the id selector below with what you choose).
- In your Page Function and Variable Declaration Javascript:
function confirmSave() {
var changeDetected = jQuery('#P0_CHANGES_DETECTED').val();
if(changeDetected == 1) {
//only do this if change is detected
if(confirm('You have unsaved changes. Do you want to leave this page?')) {
window.location('[your url here]');
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
//bind function to the click event
$('#tree_static_id').find('li a').bind('click', function() { confirmSave(); } });
});Hope this helps -
WebDynpro ABAP tree node collapse trigger event of row selection
Hello expert,
I have a table in my WD abap view, I use MasterColumn to display the tree structure, everything works just fine.
However I encounter one problem:
If I open the tree structure and select one node (table row selection), the event onLeadSelectis triggered, this is correct. However if I collapse any parent nodes (along the tree path) of the selected node, WD puts the selection on the clicked parent and thus the event onLeadSelect is triggered for the parent. This is a strange behavior, because when I collapse a node, I certainly don't want to trigger the onLeadSelect event for the node, becaseu this would invoke the function linked to the event which is only supposed to be triggered when you explicitly select the table row. (BTW, if you don't select any child nodes, then collapse the parent, it does NOT trigger the event).
I've looked into the wdevent data to see if I can differentiate between the event of node collapsing and row selecting, event data is exact same for both cases, thus I have no way to stop the event handler in case of node collapsing.
Anyone had this issue and a solution for this?
Thanks
JaysonHi Jayson,
Its the behavior of the tree element, the lead selection of child is carried over to the parent.
Whenever there is lead selection set and on toggling of tree node, first OnToggle event triggers and then OnLeadSelect triggers. So you can control the execution of onLeadSelect by using EXPANDED parameter of event OnToggle.
Please refer the below steps:
Create an action ON_TOGGLE for the vent OnToggle of tree element and it will be having parameter EXPANDED
Create an attribute in view-->attributes tab GV_EXPANDED
Collect the parameter EXPANDED into gv_expanded
wd_this->gv_expanded = expanded.
Now, you can use wd_this->gv_expanded to control the execution of LEADSELECT logic
Hope this helps you.

Hi all,
When I click on any tree node I need to save the node text at the corresponding node in a variable.Can this be done with onTreeClick?How?use onNodeClick of treeNode
capture the event in oninputprocessing to get the id of the node clicked and read the itab (passed to tree) to get the text of the node.

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).

}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.

How to handle check box events in alv tree.
hi,
i am working in CL_GUI_COLUMN_TREE class.Also using Check box. Now i want to handle events for check box . I am new to ABAP Objects.
Pls expaline in detail or send code
thanks in advance,
senthil kumar.rHello Senthil
Have a look at the sample report
SAPCOLUMN_TREE_CONTROL_DEMO
. The crucial points are:
<b>(1) Register the required events at the control</b>
* define the events which will be passed to the backend
" checkbox change
event-eventid = CL_GUI_COLUMN_TREE=>EVENTID_checkbox_change.
event-appl_event = 'X'.
append event to events.
CALL METHOD G_TREE->SET_REGISTERED_EVENTS
EXPORTING
EVENTS = EVENTS
EXCEPTIONS
CNTL_ERROR = 1
CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 2
ILLEGAL_EVENT_COMBINATION = 3.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE A000.
ENDIF.
<b>(2) Set the event handler</b>
assign event handlers in the application class to each desired event
SET HANDLER G_APPLICATION->HANDLE_CHECKBOX_CHANGE FOR g_tree.
<b>(3) Define and implement event handler method</b>
METHOD HANDLE_CHECKBOX_CHANGE.
" this method handles the checkbox_change event of the tree
" control instance
" show the key of the node and the name of the item
" of the clicked checkbox in a dynpro field
G_EVENT = 'CHECKBOX_CHANGE'.
G_NODE_KEY = NODE_KEY.
G_ITEM_NAME = ITEM_NAME.
CLEAR G_HEADER_NAME.
ENDMETHOD.

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

Creation of a Popup Menu for a Tree Node
Hi Ppl,
I need to create a Pop-up Menu for a tree node in WebDynpro Application, please give me a "How to .." sort of material or a link which would have same sort of information...
Also, My requirement is to call the pop-up on the right click of mouse on the tree node, please let me know on which event handler I can call it ? Do I require a custom event handler for it ?
Thanks in advance
AnishHi Anish,
You simply add a Tree UI element, and then right-click the tree UI element and insert a TreeNode element.
To the TreeNode element you can add a menu, and then to this menu you can add menu items. When the user right click the tree node, the menu item is displayed. If the user clicks the menu item, the action for the menuitem is run.
Hope that helps.

Hi, Java GUI guru. Thank you for your help in advance.
I am working on a File Explorer project with JTree. There are cut, copy and paste item menus in my menu bar. I need three EventAction methods or classes to implements the three tasks. I tried to use Clipboard to copy and paste tree node. But I can not copy any tree node from my tree.
Are there any body has sample source code about cut, copy, and paste for tree? If possible, would you mind send me your sample source code to [email protected]
I would appreciate you very very much for your help!!!!
X.G.Hi, Paul Clapham:
Thank you for your quick answer.
I store the node in a DefaultMutableTreeNode variable, and assign it to another DefaultMutableTreeNode variable. I set up two classes (CopyNode and PasteNode). Here they are as follows:
//CopyNode class
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class CopyNode implements ActionListener{
private TreeList jtree;
String treeNodeName;
TreePath currentSelection;
DefaultMutableTreeNode currentNode;
public CopyNode(TreeList t){
jtree = t;
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
currentSelection = jtree.tree.getSelectionPath();
if(currentSelection != null){
currentNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)(currentSelection.getLastPathComponent());
treeNodeName = currentNode.toString();
//PasteNode class
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class PasteNode extends DefaultMutableTreeNode{
private TreeList jtree;
CopyNode copyNode;
public PasteNode(TreeList t){
jtree = t;
copyNode = new CopyNode(t);
public DefaultMutableTreeNode addObject(Object child){
DefaultMutableTreeNode parentNode = null;
TreePath parentPath = jtree.tree.getSelectionPath();
if(parentPath == null){
parentNode = jtree.root;
else{
parentNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)parentPath.getLastPathComponent();
return addObject(parentNode, child, true);
public DefaultMutableTreeNode addObject(DefaultMutableTreeNode parent, Object child, boolean shouldBeVisible){
DefaultMutableTreeNode childNode = copyNode.currentNode;
if(parent == null){
parent = jtree.root;
jtree.treemodel.insertNodeInto(childNode, parent, parent.getChildCount());
if(shouldBeVisible){
jtree.tree.scrollPathToVisible(new TreePath(childNode.getPath()));
return childNode;
I used these two classes objects in "actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)" methods in my tree:
//invoke copyNode
copyItem = new JMenuItem("Copy");
copyItem.addActionListener(copyNode);
//invoke pasteNode
pasteItem = new JMenuItem("Paste");
pasteItem.addActionListener(
new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
pasteName.addObject(copyName.treeNodeName);
When I run the drive code, making a copy some node from my tree list, I got bunch of error messages.
Can you figour out what is wrong in my two classes? If you have sample code, would you mind mail me for reference.
Thank you very much in advance.

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?

I beleive that this line of code is required:

I have placed it where the action events start the spider, but i keep getting this error:
cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method addObject (java.lang.String)
location: class javax.swing.JTextArea
treeText.addObject(msgInfo);
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.
Many thanks
