Creating a JavaServer Faces Page for Your Node

A JavaServer Faces page for a tree node uses the tag sun:treeNode. This tag provides all the capabilities of the Project Woodstock tag webuijsf:treeNode.

Example 3–3 Example JavaServer Faces Page for a Tree Node

In the example, the sampleNode.jsf file has the following content:

<sun:treeNode 
        id="treeNode1"
        text="SampleTop"
        url="/sample/page/testPage.jsf?name=SampleTop"
        imageURL="/resource/sample/images/sample.png"
        >
    <sun:treeNode 
            id="treeNodeBB"
            text="SampleBB"
            url="/sample/page/testPage.jsf?name=SampleBB"
            imageURL="resource/sample/images/sample.png" />
</sun:treeNode>

This file uses the sun:treenode tag to specify both a top-level tree node and another node nested beneath it. In your own JavaServer Faces pages, specify the attributes of this tag as follows:

id

A unique identifier for the tree node.

text

The node name that appears in the tree.

url

The location of the JavaServer Faces page that appears when you click the node. In the example, most of the integration points use a very simple JavaServer Faces page called testPage.jsf, which is in the src/main/resources/page/ directory. Specify the integration point id value as the root of the URL; in this case, it is sample (see Specifying the ID of an Add-On Component). The rest of the URL is relative to the src/main/resources/ directory, where sampleNode.jsf resides.

The url tag in this example passes a name parameter to the JavaServer Faces page.

imageURL

The location of a graphic to display next to the node name. In the example, the graphic is always sample.png, which is in the src/main/resources/images/ directory. The URL for this image is an absolute path, /resource/sample/images/sample.png, where sample in the path is the integration point id value (see Specifying the ID of an Add-On Component).
