After having tried the tree2 component from the MyFaces Tomahawk library – see: Apache MyFaces (open source JSF implementation) – Using the Tree2 Component with JDeveloper 10.1.3
-, I wanted to do something similar with MyFaces Cherokee aka ADF
Faces. Unfortunately, the Apache MyFaces Cherokee project has not yet
been released, so I go for the ADF Faces set in JDeveloper 10.1.3 EA1.
Supposedly this is interchangeable with Cherokee once released.
The
af:tree element seems somewhat sober at first glance. It also seems
less smart than the tree2 component from the Tomahawk library that I
discussed in the previous post. Well, I am getting ahead of myself.
Let’s first get things going.
Steps
The first steps are
more or less generic for anyone starting out with ADF Faces in
JDeveloper 10.1.3 EA. Oracle has many tutorials and howto’s on OTN that
describe these basic steps.
- Download JDeveloper 10.1.3 EA1 and install it.
- Run JDeveloper 10.1.3
- Create
a new Application Workspace – I call it AdfFacesTrials – and a new
project – I call it AdfFacesTreeTrials. I did not select any special
Technology scope. - From the New Gallery, pick Web Tier, JSF and
choose JSF JSP. The wizard for creating a JSF page – or rather a JSP
that contains JSF components – starts. I call my new JSP
MyFirstAdfFacesPage.jsp. From a tutorial on OTN:Build a Master-Detail Web Page with JDeveloper and ADF Business Components I learned that I should include the following tag libraries on page 4 of the wizard (Tag Libraries):
JSF Core 1.0
JSF HTML 1.0
ADF Faces Components
ADF Faces HTML
- I
close the wizard and my new JSP page is created; it contains the proper
Tag Library directives as well as the basic outline of the JSF
structure: <f:view> and <h:form>. - Run the page to
verify the set up is correct. The JSP should display in the browser,
showing only its title – MyFirstAdfFacesPage.
Now it will get more interesting, as we are actually going to use the tree component from the ADF Faces Core Component Palette.
I
drag the Tree component to my JSP, positioning it right after the
<h:form> tag. From the documentation – see the resources below –
I have more or less gathered what the properties are that must be set.

<body><h:form>
<af:tree var="node" value="#{libaryTreeHandler.libraryTreeModel}">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<h:panelGroup>
<af:outputText value="#{node.description}"/>
<af:outputText value=" (#{node.childCount})"/>
<af:outputText value=" (#{node.nodeType})"
rendered="#{node.nodeType == 'author'}"
/>
</h:panelGroup>
</f:facet>
</af:tree>
</h:form></body>
</html>
</f:view>
The
<af:tree> element has a <f:facet> child element named
nodeStamp. This facet is rendered for each node in the tree. Unlike the
MyFaces tree2 component that had named facets for every nodeType –
where the name of the facet matches the nodeType – ADF Faces’ af:tree
has a single facet for every node. However, using multiple panelGroups
– one per nodeType – and tying the rendered property of these
panelGroups to the nodeType they represent, we can achieve that same
effect in ADF Faces.
In this case I have just a single
panelGroup with three elements: the description of the node, the number
of childnodes (between parentheses) and the node type – but the latter
only for nodes of type author.
Now I need to create the
backing bean to provide the TreeModel expected by the <af:tree>
component. I dug a little round the JavaDocs for TreeModel and came up
the class ChildPropertyTreeModel, that can be instantiated with a
Collection of node objects:
libraryTreeModel = new ChildPropertyTreeModel(library, "children");
where
library is a Collection (an ArrayList in this case) of objects. There
are two requirements: the objects in the Collection must all be of the
same type and there must be a property referring to the Collection of
child-nodes of each node object. We are free to design our own Node
object, as long as we adhere to these two requirements. So here is my
GenericTreeNode class:
package nl.amis.adffaces.library;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
public class GenericTreeNode {
private String description ;
private String longDescription ;
private Collection children;
private String nodeType;
private boolean nodeSelected;
public GenericTreeNode() {
}
public GenericTreeNode(String description, String nodeType) {
this.description = description;
this.nodeType = nodeType;
this.children = new ArrayList();
}
public GenericTreeNode(String description, String longDescription, Collection children) {
this.description = description;
this.longDescription = longDescription;
this.children = children;
}
public void setDescription(String description) {
this.description = description;
}
public String getDescription() {
return description;
}
public void setLongDescription(String longDescription) {
this.longDescription = longDescription;
}
public String getLongDescription() {
return longDescription;
}
public void setChildren(Collection children) {
this.children = children;
}
public Collection getChildren() {
return children;
}
public int getChildCount() {
if (children == null)
return 0;
else
return children.size();
}
public void setNodeType(String nodeType) {
this.nodeType = nodeType;
}
public String getNodeType() {
return nodeType;
}
public void setNodeSelected(boolean nodeSelected) {
this.nodeSelected = nodeSelected;
}
public boolean isNodeSelected() {
return nodeSelected;
}
}
In the class LibraryTreeHandler – a class that I have instructed JSF to manage for me under the name libraryTreeHandler:
<faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/JSF/Configuration">
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>LibraryTreeHandler</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>nl.amis.myfaces.tree.LibraryHandler</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
</faces-config>
I
set up the nodes collection and tree model expected by <af:tree>
under the libraryTreeModel property of the libraryTreeHandler managed
bean.
package nl.amis.adffaces.library;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import oracle.adf.view.faces.model.ChildPropertyTreeModel;
import oracle.adf.view.faces.model.TreeModel;
public class LibraryTreeHandler {
private TreeModel libraryTreeModel;
public LibraryTreeHandler() {
GenericTreeNode library = new GenericTreeNode("Library", "folder");
GenericTreeNode ben = new GenericTreeNode("Ben Elton", "author");
GenericTreeNode book = new GenericTreeNode("Post Mortem", "book");
ben.getChildren().add(book);
book = new GenericTreeNode("Blast from the Past", "book");
ben.getChildren().add(book);
book = new GenericTreeNode("Stark", "book");
ben.getChildren().add(book);
GenericTreeNode rod = new GenericTreeNode("Rod Johnson", "author");
book = new GenericTreeNode("J2EE Design and Development", "book");
rod.getChildren().add(book);
book =
new GenericTreeNode("J2EE without Enterprise Java Bean", "book");
rod.getChildren().add(book);
book =
new GenericTreeNode("Professional Java Development With The Spring Framework",
"book");
rod.getChildren().add(book);
GenericTreeNode orson =
new GenericTreeNode("Orson Scott Card", "author");
book = new GenericTreeNode("Ender's Game", "book");
orson.getChildren().add(book);
book = new GenericTreeNode("Xenocide", "book");
orson.getChildren().add(book);
book = new GenericTreeNode("Shadow Puppets", "book");
orson.getChildren().add(book);
library.getChildren().add(ben);
library.getChildren().add(rod);
library.getChildren().add(orson);
// create the list of root nodes:
List nodes = new ArrayList();
nodes.add(library);
libraryTreeModel = new ChildPropertyTreeModel(library, "children");
}
public TreeModel getLibraryTreeModel() {
return libraryTreeModel;
}
}
Now
I can run the JSP: JSF will instantiate the libraryTreeHandler that in
its constructor sets up the TreeModel and makes it available under its
the treeModel property where the <af:tree> element can get it. It
looks like this in the browser:
Of course it is similar to what I did with the MyFaces Tomahawk Tree2 component:
There
are some differences: the ADF Faces Tree does not let us specify the
icons for Node, Expanded and Collapsed like Tree2 does. Furthermore,
ADF Faces Tree does not look ahead to check whether a node has child
nodes: the Expand icon is always displayed, regardless of whether there
are in fact child nodes or not. I am not certain about the
configuration options for af:tree as the documentation is not
completely available and I have not been able to find any sample code
of the tree component. Perhaps it is much richer than I currently
suspect.
Make the tree application a little more interesting
Just like I did with MyFaces Tree2, I will bring a little more spark to the tree application. We
will allow Author nodes to be selected and we will display the
Biography of the currently selected author – marked in the tree with an
asterisk – next to the tree.
I
am sure that the ADF Faces Tree Component has its own events and built
in ways of handling those events. However, I have not been able to work
this out from the documentation, so I create my own CommandLink for the
nodes that can be selected. I also keep track of the currently selected
node myself – again, there very well be a mechanism in ADF Faces that
keeps track of the selected node, but it was not obvious to me. I make
small modifcations in the JSP to display an asterisk for the selected
node, as well as the biography for the currently selected node – if any.

For
some hugely annoying reason, when the command link is invoked, the
ActionEvent process in my bean is called three times, once for every
Author node that has such a CommandLink component. What’s worse, the
UIParam authorName has a different value for each of these three
invocations, namely the description of the Author node. So at this
point, I cannot make use of the normal UIParam processing. Instead, I
retrieve the value of the authorName Parameter from the
HttpServletRequest that I retrieve from ExternalContext that is
available on the current instance of the FacesContext. I cannot help
but feel that this is a bug in the tree component – but again, perhaps
I do not understand it all correctly. The code handling the ‘select
node’ event now becomes:

I have the feeling that I am missing out on some of the features
available to me in ADF Faces’s tree component, but at least I have my
application working. The result looks like this:
Next steps
Link the Tree up with a proper Database backed Model, for example
using Spring or EJB 3.0. Also: look at other ADF Faces components and
how they compare to MyFaces Tomahawk components. And of course delve
deeper into what the af:tree can do – since obviously I have only
scratched the surface. If anyone reading this has pointers on how to
dig deeper: please share them!

Hi,
Thanks a bunch for this application.It proved to be very useful.Do u have any idea about how to highlight the selected node
HI Lucas Jellema,
This Article on Tree Component is very useful. Thank you very much for the same.
Can I have a similar approach on using JDeveloper 11G as some of the Classes used in jDev10.1.3 is depricated in 11G.
Thank you … Dev
I have just posted a reworked, more complete and correct version of this article. See http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=2094
Really helpful your code. I wish i could write such a code!!!
Keep writing! J…Developer Walker
Thank you so much for the tree example. I was able to use it successfully. In using GenericTreeNode, I was unable to use Michal’s or Chintan’s suggestion. The error was in the jsp file in still needing to output the longdescription. Thanks you again.
Your article was very help ful to create tree components using ADF Faces. But my aim is to create treeTable component by fetching records from DEPARTMENT & EMP tables. But I am not using JDeveloper. Using eclipse for file creation and tomcat to run the application. How can I add all details of employee as columns in tree table. Actually the treeTable should show the DEPARTMENTS. When click on Departments it should expand to show the Employees along with all the details in the same row, but in separate columns.
I want to make treeTable demo application which will give the drilldown facility. What changes should I give to implement this facility.
This is a fantastic post! I would just like to add that if you override the isContainer method on your TreeModel that you can display leave nodes. Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope that is helpful.
Regards,
Ric
how can i use checkbox at each tree node, can u please tell me how to do it?
Ok, it didn’t processed ok the jspx file and faces-config.xml but that certainly is not anything complicated to produce one of your own.
The original example has a slight problem that it displays as a parent node even nodes without children – Chintan’s suggestion solves the problem, code looks like this:

Thanks for the example, after searching days for a simple adf faces tree sample really appreciate yours here.
There are also tree examples in adf-faces-demo.war packed in adf-faces-10_1_3_0_4.zip download but the one with selecting value functionality was rather too complex for a newbie like me…
Michal
Hi,
Your example is quite useful. But in order to get selected node in ADF faces, you don’t need to have HTTP parameter. You can easily bind table with backing bean table using BINDING variable of table and then just use get method : here is the sample code:
In backing bean:
private CoreTree bookTree; with getter and setters.
In actionEvent:
this.selectedNode = ( (GenericTreeNode) bookTree.getRowData() );
Here you don’t need find method either.
and this concept is from JSF faces, isn’t it?
let me know your comments.
Thanks,
Chintan
Hey, this page was VERY HELPFUL for me.
You shell also consider build the Library in the faces-config, as managed-beans,
I didn’t find an example that will help me modify my app to use it (I try to use menuTabs, as in an example of Oracle, but it required menuModel and menuTree, so I bypassed it using your example. But they used the managed-beans for the content, and I want to do so too)
If you have link or instructions how to do it you are most welcome to write me,
Regards,
Sagi
