Cancel the creation of a new record from a tree-form

Question

Hi all,
We have an application with a tree-form interface. On the form is an option to create a new object (e.g. Employee, as an analogy). We would like to provide a way to cancel the creation and return to the previous selected node/employee; e.g. with a cancel button.
How can we accomplish that?
We tried to use the standard bindings rollback as an actionListener (#{bindings.Rolback.execute}), but this doesn't work as expected. The employee on the form is not the same as the selected one in the tree, but always the first one. After deep investigations it seems that the synchronization mthod
JhsPageLifecycle.restoreRowCurrencies tries the synchronization with the (now obsolete) key of the new record.
This gives the impression that rollback can be used to rollback changes on existing objects, but not to rollback the creation of a new record. So we're looking for another approach; any suggestions?

Hi,
problem does not seem to be solved after all :-(
As I wrote in the first post, the rollback tries to synchronize, using the id of the new row (that we retrieve from a database sequence when the viewrow is created).
Any suggestion how we can synchronize with the 'selected' row?
The strange thing is that it seems to work when we create a 'subordinate' (like create an employee from a department page), but it does not work when we create the same object (like a department from a department page).
