Moving child node's parent in JTree

hi guys.
What i have is a Jtree dynamically generated, im trying to re-arrange the nodes inside.
each nodes and their parents have their own values and been built with DefaultMutableTreeNode.
So im thinking, to do so i first need to analyse which child node i want to move, then remove it from its current parent, then set the new parent to this node.
I been thinking of using the values and compare them to do the parent-node matching, however, i have been looking at the APIs without luck, for methods to possible retrieve the values of the childs/parents.
Or perhaps there is a simpler way,
Does anybody have a clue where i could find some answers to this problem?
Cheers, Eric.

Cheers, Eric.Not sure what the problem is exactly. DefaultMutableTreeNode has methods for retrieving it's parent and child nodes: which is all you need to move nodes in your tree.

How To Display attributes of Child Node and Parent Node in same view

Suppose I have two view Carview and CarDetail View...IN Component context I have Parent Node Called Cars and It have its attribute as Price,Warranty,Year and also One Child Node Called as Brand Name Whose attribute are PrimaryBrand and SecondaryBrand..Now If I do Mapping of My First View i.e CarView with Child node of BrandName..and then I Have To Show Whole Detail of Car in CarDetailView.......How Can I Achieve it..

Hi Vinay,
You can map the child node and even the paren tnode to the same view if u want to display in the same window..
If not if ur requirment is to dispaly in the sme view but should not map the child and parent to the Same view then you can take another new view.. and insert 2 view containers and then add the Child view and parent view in that view containers and then Diaplay the newly created view.

How to open to a set child node using the swing jtree bound to adf views

Hi All, I have an oracle adf jclient application that implements a jtree based on view objects derived from my database tables. Everything is working except that when a child table is updated and I re executequery() on my viewobject that is bound to the jtree, the tree collapses. Is there any way to programatically navigate the tree to open and select the new child node/object?

Hi,

Drag Child node to make it a Parent Node

Hello All
I have implemented Drag -Drop functionality in my tree. Which
consists of root and child nodes. I hide the Root node of the tree now
is there any way to make a child node as a parent node because when I
drag the child node in backward( <--) direction at the level of parent
node no drop method calls in this case then how can I make this child
node a parent node ????? I will be very thankful to your for your kind
suggestion

Ah
I think it is actually an Apple App switcher thing.
So if the finder window does noy cover the After Effects Project window, it works, but if you have to use the app switcher, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I don't think it is a file type issue, so much as a live application issue, or maybe GPU related.
It's a weird thing, not that important, but it does limit where you can and can't drag from.

Need to chart attribute value of just one child node of XML document

I have a XML document with (for example) 7 parent nodes, each
parent node has 5 child nodes. The parent nodes have an attribute
@EarlierDTS (DateTime type) that is the x-axis category of a chart.
Each child node has an attribute @eventid which specifies the id of
the event, and another atttribute @NumOccurs which specifies how
many times that event occured in that period.
How do I tell Flex I want a simple line chart of the eventID
= 215? What if I want two lines, for both eventID=215 and
eventid=307?
I have studied the posts and blogs for over a week now, and
have seen this question or similar come up quite a few places, with
no answer.
1) Should I focus on learning how to create a filterfunction
for the XMLList that underlies my XMLListCollection so that the
filtered data view is just one child node per parent node ( or two
child nodes for the second case)? And set the filtered data view as
the dataprovider of my chart's vertical series?
2) Should I focus on learning how to create a XML Filter
query that selects just one or two child nodes for each parent
node, and set the charts' series' dataprovider to this filter
expression? (I don't think this is allowed - but I'm checking with
the forum members...)
3) Should I focus on learning how to convert the
XMLListCollection into a HierarchicalData object, and then learning
how to filter this object so there is only one (or two) childs per
parent? This seems like a lot of coding - I almost have to create a
pair of classes - one for the parent and one for the child - so I
can create nested ArrayObjects.
4) Should I create a brand new XMLList by walking the
original XML list, and inserting Parent nodes and just the child
nodes that match the eventID(s) I want to chart, into the new
XMLList?
I believe that the easiest way would be to create a
Filterfunction for the XMLList, and bind the chart series to the
(filtered) XML List. But the problem with this approach is that I
have seen more than 2 posts asking how to accomplish filtering that
removes specific children from the view, with no solutions posted.
Help! What is the best way to get just one child for each
parent, from an XMLList?

Runtime ik springs: child nodes break when a parent node is moved

There is something wrong with IK armature springs when used in runtime mode. Child nodes become disjointed with user interaction of parent nodes.
Drag spring on right from different points to see bug here: http://gardenofpossibilities.org/flash/ik_spring_runtime_bug/spring_runtimebug.html
I filed this as a bug, but wanted to mention it here in case others have a similar problem or anyone has a workaround:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Build simple movieclip based armature
2. add springs to bones
3. set armature to runtime and publish
Results:
Armature child nodes become disjointed with user interaction of parent nodes. Same disjointed behavior occurs when armature is moved with actionscript 3 ik.mover.
Expected results:
Armature nodes should remain properly connected when user or actionscript 3 ik_mover moves any node.
My Analysis:
When springs are 0 (no spring) armature works correctly. It appears that the problem is caused by child nodes pivoting at parent node head, when they should actually pivot at parent node tail. Also, when armature becomes disjointed, dragging or moving tail node (furthest from root) restores joints.
I've posted and example of the bug here: http://gardenofpossibilities.org/flash/ik_spring_runtime_bug/spring_runtimebug.html
...and a .zip archive of the fla: http://gardenofpossibilities.org/flash/ik_spring_runtime_bug/
Please enlighten me on what is wrong, how to fix (if possible). If this is a documented bug, please provide a reference to it.
Thanks!

I posted this two months ago. Does anybody have anything to add on this issue? Are there any Adobe programmer/engineers out there? I've even filed a bug report, but have not received any feedback. Not a peep. Please?

How to avoid the selection of a Parent node and its child node at a time?

Example:
consider the below JTree.
Parent1
---->Parent2
-------->Child3
Parent3
---->Parent4
My requirement :
Parent1 and Parent3 can be selected at a time(using ctrl keys)
Parent2 and Parent4 can be selected at a time
Parent1 and Parent2 should not allowed to select at a time.
In general : A parent and any of its child should not be selected at a time.
How to achieve this? Anyone please help me.

How do i implement a custom TreeSelectionModel?I would start by going through the source of DefaultTreeSelectionModel so see how the default selection is handled. Also probably check out JTree.EmptySelectionModel to see how selection is prevented.
Which methods to override?Methods in the class you choose to extend, obviously. But before that you need to firm up certain design decisions: if a parent node is selected and the user attempts to select one of its child nodes, do you select the child and deselect the parent or do nothing/ and vice versa.
etc.... may form the basis for a future, more specific question accompanied by a [_SSCCE_|http://mindprod.com/jgloss/sscce.html].

How can provide parent-child nodes relation ships?

how can provide parent-child nodes relation ships?

I was under the impression that scenegraph is like a JTree. But in JavaFX only leaf node rendering in scenegraph. This situation was confusing my mind. In JavaFX CustomNode must be extending and return a group for custom leaf. If we want to a create parent-child node hierarchy we are create CustomNode that return a group and this group contain an another group,etc. So there is maybe only a way. If you learning to JavaFX first time.This way don't look familiar.

How to set the horisontal offset for a node relative its parent in JTree?

When using large icons for nodes in a JTree the whole tree looks very compact. I found a method setRowHeight(int height) to set the row height that got med some space between the rows. But I couldn't find a simular method to increase the offset between a child node and its parent.
Any suggestions?

You can control the offset through the BasicTreeUI, as discussed in this thread:

How can I remove child node from JTree???

Hi,
I would like to remove all the child node of my jtree. For instance I would like to remove the c, d, and e nodes. It's possible to remove all the child node or to remove by her name ("c", "d", and "e"). If yes what is the method that it permit to do.

I use the model : DefaultMutableTreeNode
Thanks

There are a couple of ways it can be done. If your tree uses DefaultTreeModel as its TreeModel, you can use removeNodeFromParent(). This will remove the node from its parent and effectively remove its children, too. All nodes removed will be garbage-collected if there are no other references to them.
If your tree model is not the default tree model, but still uses MutableTreeNode, you can use either remove() or removeFromParent() on the node itself, depending on whether you want to remove the node itself or one of its children.
On the other hand, your tree may use a model that simply "mirrors" another data structure, in which case you would have to remove the node from the other data structure and have it reflected in the model.

Inconsistent results for adding child node in a JTree

I have a JTree where I add child nodes when a user clicks on the node or handle. When the user clicks on the node, through implementing TreeSelectionListener interface, I add a node, the tree expands, and I see the newly added node. However, when the user clicks on the handle, through implementing the TreeExpansionListener, the tree does not expand and I do not see the newly added node. The problem is repeatable by compiling the code below.
Why is there this difference? Aren't all the methods implemented through the TreeSelectionListener and TreeExpansionListener in the SWT thread?
public class TestFrame extends JFrame implements TreeSelectionListener, TreeExpansionListener {
     public TestFrame() {
          String[] alphabets = {
                    "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g",
                    "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n",
                    "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u",
                    "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"
          DefaultMutableTreeNode top = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("CEDICT");
          for(int i=0; i < alphabets.length; i++) {
               DefaultMutableTreeNode node =
                    new DefaultMutableTreeNode(alphabets) {
                    public boolean isLeaf() { return false; }
               top.add(node);
          JTree tree = new JTree(top);

          node.add(new DefaultMutableTreeNode(date.toString()));
          tree.invalidate(); //does not help to show newly added child

I couldn't figure out why inserting a node in the valueChanged(...) method works. In all three methods no listeners are notified about the change, so you would think all three would fail.
For a JTree using the DefaultTreeModel the nodesWereInserted(...) method needs to be called. For example, if I change your last three methods to this
public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent e) {
   insertNode((JTree) e.getSource(),
              (MutableTreeNode) e.getPath().getLastPathComponent());
public void treeCollapsed(TreeExpansionEvent event) {
   insertNode((JTree) event.getSource(),
              (MutableTreeNode) event.getPath().getLastPathComponent());
public void treeExpanded(final TreeExpansionEvent event) {
   insertNode((JTree) event.getSource(),
              (MutableTreeNode) event.getPath().getLastPathComponent());
public void insertNode(JTree tree, MutableTreeNode parent) {
    Date date = new Date();
    MutableTreeNode child = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(date.toString());
    int index = parent.getChildCount();
    parent.insert(child,index);
    ((DefaultTreeModel) tree.getModel())
            .nodesWereInserted(parent,new int[]{index});
}then it works as you desire. You can (and should) of course use the DefaultTreeModel's own insert method.
DefaultTreeModel#insertNodeInto(MutableTreeNode,MutableTreeNode, int)

Read child nodes in Jtree

Need some help in reading the child nodes in a jTree after a parent node has been selected.
I've created a Jtree using DefaultMutableTreeNode. When I select a node, I'm able to read the contents of that node but can't figure out how to read all the children beneath it.
I'm using this code to read the current selected path:
TreePath tp1 = jTreeTOC.getSelectionPath();
Object bal_Grp[] = tp1.getPath();
int iNodeCnt = bal_Grp.length;
if (iNodeCnt > 1) {
String sTOCNode = bal_Grp[iNodeCnt-1].toString();
So my sTOCNode is the selected one, now how do I get the children.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Read the tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html#select
If you use getLastSelectedPathComponent you get back DefaultMutableTreeNode object of the selected node.
You can use it to get the children of the selected node.

How to differentiate parent and child node in af:treeTable ?

Greetings,
I have a requirement, I display master child view objects using <af:treeTable> component, When user expands a parent row, I have to make parent row is in read only and expanded(child) row in editable. To accomplish this I have to identify the 'node' whether it belongs to parent or child view object. In this example Tree table binds with EmpVO, There is a view link beteween EmpVO and DepartmentVO.
<af:treeTable value="#{bindings.EmpVO.treeModel}"
var="node"
rowSelection="single" id="tEqSum"
summary="Employee Summary"
<af:column sortProperty="#{bindings.EmpVO.hints.LocCity.name}"
filterable="true" sortable="true" width="90"
headerText="#{bindings.EmpVO.hints.LocCity.label}"
id="c3">
<af:outputText value="#{node.LocCity}" id="ot21"/>
expandAllEnabled="false">
</af:treeTable>
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
You can find out the node depth by using
#{bindings.<your_tree_binding>.treeModel.depth}Based on the depth, you can decide whether its a parent node or child node (for a 1 level tree- say dept and emp, the depth for parent would be 0 and for the child it would be 1).

Context Mapping: child-nodes of non-mapped parent nodes

I am somewhat curious about Context Mapping in WebDynpro.
Which parents nodes need to be mapped in order to map child nodes ? Does a child node has more than one parent node (e.g. grandparent - two steps above) ?
A.1 -
MAPPED----
>    B.1
- A1.1   NOT MAPPED
- A1.2   NOT MAPPED
        - A.1.2.1     MAPPED TO>    B.1.2.4
        - A.1.2.2   NOT MAPPED
- A1.3   NOT MAPPED
Is it sufficient that only one of these parent nodes (e.g. direct parent node not mapped, but parent node of this parent node is mapped) need to be mapped so that the child node can be mapped ?
Is this assumption true or not ?
The SAP library states:
"Conversely, child nodes of non-mapped parent nodes cannot be mapped, otherwise this would result in irresolvable conflicts at runtime with respect to the parent-child relation in the context and the mapping relation." (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/51/a3384162316532e10000000a1550b0/content.htm)
This statement is not absolutely clear on this issue.

Let me put it this way
You have a node vehicle and you have a child node for that the car. The car node have parameters car1, car2.
Let the vehicle node have parameters veh1 and veh2
Then if you map vehicle node one to any other node (say in the comp. controller) you have the option of mapping its children i.e veh1,veh2 and carnode.
You can have that veh1 is mapped and veh2 is not mapped.
vehicle node(mapped)
veh1(may or may not be mapped)
veh2(may or may not be mapped)
car node(may or may not be mapped)
If instead you try to map only the car node the vehicle node will also get mapped automatically but not it's child parameters like veh1 and veh2.
vehicle node(mapped)
veh1(may or may not be mapped)
veh2(may or may not be mapped)
car nodemapped)
car1(may or may not be mapped)
car2(may or may not be mapped)
Hope this would help.
Do revert for further clarification

Parent node showing in schema when child nodes not present

I had several folks answer my questions on mapping from a flat file to an EDI 835 schema and I am down to just a couple of issues before I finish up. I have a conditional mapping issue that I have to solve before I can map the rest of the document. I am
mapping three fields in a single non-repeating line in the flat file to a repeating segment in the 835. Basically I need to create a separate AMT_ClaimSupplementalInformation segment for each field in the flat file line. As you can see in the picture
below I want to create a AMT_ClaimSupplementalInformation segment for CDISCOUNT, CINELIGIBLE and CALLOWED.
You can see I have quite a bit of conditional logic attached to the three fields, but I have all three connected via a loop to the AMT_ClaimSupplementalInformation parent. I cannot attach the loop to the parent of the three fields because it only appears
once in the file. And if I leave the loop out the AMT segments get stacked funny, like this:
<AMT_ClaimSupplementalInformation>
AMT1
AMT1
AMT2
AMT2
</AMT_ClaimSupplementalInformation>
You can see how they should be stacked in the next pic.
In some cases however, one of those fields may be blank so I will not need to create a AMT_ClaimSupplementalInformation segment for it. I was able to use some conditional mapping ideas you guys gave me using the Not-Equal and Value Mapping functoids, and
that works great to keep blank child nodes from being created. However, Since I have a loop attached to the AMT_ClaimSupplementalInformation parent node it still creates an empty parent node even when the child nodes are not created. See the empty parent
node in the pic below.
Since looping functoids can only be attached to links I don't know how to make the parent node conditional.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Boatseller, thanks for the tip. I did end up going the XSLT direction. It's a bit of a hack, but I'm using the following XSLT to eliminate empty nodes :
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:if test=". != ''">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I created a new map with the 835 schema on each side. I then created an XSLT file and pointed to it in the Custom XSLT Path property. It seems to work well. I call this map right after my FlatFile_To_835 map.
I was hoping to use the scripting functoid with inline XSLT in the map so that I didn't have to worry about deploying the XSLT file(just another thing to keep up with in the future), but when I compile it I get the following error:
The "Scripting" functoid has 1 input parameter(s), but 2 parameter(s) are expected.
I'm wondering if I'm connecting the schemas incorrectly in the map:
In any case, I'm past the empty nodes issue for now, which was a big roadblock. Now I have to deal with the CAS segments which are, as you said, a real pain.
Thanks for all of your input.
