jQuery dynatree adapter for JSF 2

Introduction

dynatree-for-jsf is a JSF 2 adapter for dynatree jQuery plugin (http://code.google.com/p/dynatree/). dynatree allows to dynamically create html tree view controls using JavaScript.

Why this adapter though Richfaces or Primefaces already implements> tree components ? Because dynatree has more features, is more mature, robust and is a prooven component.

Source code and sample are available on https://github.com/nithril/dynatree-for-jsf 
Sample is running on Cloudbees at http://dynatree.nithril.cloudbees.net/tree.jsf

Features

This adapter handles events for all of the dynatree events. All events can be mapped to JSF ajax events.
Here is a typical use of the adapter

onLazyRead and onActivate ajax events are binded to methods of the managed bean treeBean.

• lazyRead populates the tree dynamicaly.
• activate refresh a JSF panel with the selected node key.

All with Ajax.
This project does not include jquery, nor dynatree. You should include their by yourself.
