Question

Please see the code below. I want to display a context menu on right click on a rich tree.

    <h:form>   
        <h:panelGrid columns="1" width="100%" columnClasses="col1">

                <f:facet name="header">Last Menu Action</f:facet>
                <h:outputText escape="false" value="Right Click :  #{simpleTreeBean.nodeTitle}" id="selectedNode" />
                <br/>
            </rich:panel>      
        </a4j:outputPanel>
             <rich:contextMenu event="oncontextmenu" actionListener="#{SimpleTreeBean.processCurrElement}" attached="true" id="menu" submitMode="ajax">
            <rich:menuItem ajaxSingle="true">
            <b> #{simpleTreeBean.nodeTitle}</b> Send To
                <a4j:actionparam name="det" assignTo="#{ddmenu.current}" value=" #{simpleTreeBean.nodeTitle}"/>
            </rich:menuItem>
        </rich:contextMenu>
    </h:form>
</ui:composition> With this code, i need left click at first then right click, then it will show the selected node. I want to get the value of the node title on right click. Please help me with it. The SimpleTreeBean code:
package com.dW;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;

public class SimpleTreeBean
    private TreeNode rootNode = null;
    private String nodeTitle;
    private static final String DATA_PATH = "images/simpleTreeData.properties";
    private void addNodes(String path, TreeNode node, Properties properties) {
        boolean end = false;
        int counter = 1;
        while (!end) {
            String key = path != null ? path + '.' + counter : String.valueOf(counter);
            String value = properties.getProperty(key);
            if (value != null) {
                TreeNodeImpl nodeImpl = new TreeNodeImpl();
                nodeImpl.setData(value);
                node.addChild(new Integer(counter), nodeImpl);
                addNodes(key, nodeImpl, properties);
                counter++;
            } else {
                end = true; } }  }
    private void loadTree() {
        FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        ExternalContext externalContext = facesContext.getExternalContext();
        InputStream dataStream = externalContext.getResourceAsStream(DATA_PATH);
        try {
            Properties properties = new Properties();
            properties.load(dataStream);
            rootNode = new TreeNodeImpl();
            addNodes(null, rootNode, properties);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new FacesException(e.getMessage(), e);
        } finally {
            if (dataStream != null) {
                try {
                    dataStream.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    externalContext.log(e.getMessage(), e);
    public TreeNode getTreeNode() {
        if (rootNode == null) {
            loadTree();
        return rootNode;
    public void processSelection(NodeSelectedEvent event) {
        UITree tree = (UITree) event.getComponent();
        nodeTitle = (String) tree.getRowData();
    public void processCurrElement(ActionEvent event) {
        UITree tree = (UITree)event.getSource();
        nodeTitle = (String)tree.getRowData();
        System.out.println(nodeTitle);
    public String getNodeTitle() {
        return nodeTitle;
    public void setNodeTitle(String nodeTitle) {
        this.nodeTitle = nodeTitle;
}

Hi,
Do you have a solution for this? Looking for exactly the same.
As far as I have it at the moment I have the backing object added to the attributes of the node:
<a4j:support event="oncontextmenu"
                                     oncomplete="#{rich:component('foldersContextMenu')}.doShow(event, {})"
                                     actionListener="#{customerBean.buildContextMenu}" reRender="foldersContextMenu, selectedNode">
                            <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{item}" target="#{customerBean.nodeTitle}"/>
                            <f:attribute name="node" value="#{item}"/>
                        </a4j:support>This allows me to get the object in the backing bean:
public void buildContextMenu(ActionEvent event) {
        UIComponent component = event.getComponent();
        log.info("component: " + component.getId());
        Category node = (Category) component.getAttributes().get("node");
        log.debug("node : " + node);But how I translate that to setting this as the current node is causing me problems.
Thanks
Jon
