public class ResultTree
extends Tree

ResultTrees are an implementation of the Tree API, used to handle hierarchical data, whose nodes are DataSource records which are retrieved from a server.

Modifying ResultTrees

ResultTree nodes cannot be directly added or removed from a paged ResultTree via Tree APIs such as Tree.add() or Tree.remove(), since such trees are considered to be read-only by virtue of containing ResultSets, which are read-only data structures. Even in other FetchModes, calling such APIs will only update the local cache of the ResultTree, rather than triggering any server traffict to update the DataSource.

Use DataSource.addData()/removeData() to add/remove rows from the DataSource, and the ResultTree will reflect the changes automatically. Alternatively, the DataSource.updateCaches() method may be called to only update local caches of the DataSource in question, without generating any server traffic.

To create a locally modifiable cache of records from a DataSource, you can use DataSource.fetchData() to retrieve a List of records which can be modified directly, or you can create a client-only DataSource from the retrieved data to share a modifiable cache between several DataBoundComponents.

Method Detail

getOrCreateRef

public static ResultTree getOrCreateRef(com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject jsObj)

getPaletteDefaults

public java.util.Map getPaletteDefaults()

This method returns a Map of config properties suitable for use as the "defaults" attribute of a PaletteNode. Use it when you need to work with PaletteNodes indirectly, such when setting up TileRecords that will be used in a TilePalette. See the dev tools overview for examples of how to assemble and acquire a suitable defaults object when you are creating a PaletteNode indirectly

create

public com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject create()

Overrides:

create in class Tree

setAutoPreserveOpenState

public void setAutoPreserveOpenState(PreserveOpenState autoPreserveOpenState)

Controls what happens to the "open state" - the set of nodes opened or closed by the end user after tree data is loaded - when an entirely new tree of nodes is loaded from the server, as a consequence of calling invalidateCache() or of changing criteria such that the current cache of nodes is dropped.

Parameters:

autoPreserveOpenState - New autoPreserveOpenState value. Default value is "whenUnique"

getAutoPreserveOpenState

public PreserveOpenState getAutoPreserveOpenState()

Controls what happens to the "open state" - the set of nodes opened or closed by the end user after tree data is loaded - when an entirely new tree of nodes is loaded from the server, as a consequence of calling invalidateCache() or of changing criteria such that the current cache of nodes is dropped.

Returns:

Current autoPreserveOpenState value. Default value is "whenUnique"

setCanReturnOpenFolders

public void setCanReturnOpenFolders(boolean canReturnOpenFolders)
                             throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

When using fetchMode:"paged" and providing multiple levels of the tree in one DSResponse, this property specifies the default value assumed for the canReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty when no value for that property is provided for a node.

Parameters:

canReturnOpenFolders - New canReturnOpenFolders value. Default value is false

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

getCanReturnOpenFolders

public boolean getCanReturnOpenFolders()

When using fetchMode:"paged" and providing multiple levels of the tree in one DSResponse, this property specifies the default value assumed for the canReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty when no value for that property is provided for a node.

Returns:

Current canReturnOpenFolders value. Default value is false

setCanReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty

public void setCanReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty(java.lang.String canReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty)
                                        throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

When using fetchMode:"paged" and providing multiple levels of the tree in one DSResponse, canReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty may be set on any folder to indicate whether child folders might be returned by the server already open. If the property is set to false on a folder then subfolders of that folder are never allowed to be returned already open. This enables the paging mechanism to be more efficient in the amount of data that it requests from the server.

For example, setting the canReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty value to false on a node is appropriate if the server-side code determines that the the node's children consist of entirely leaf nodes.

Parameters:

canReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty - New canReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty value. Default value is "canReturnOpenSubfolders"

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

See Also:

setCanReturnOpenFolders(boolean)

getCanReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty

public java.lang.String getCanReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty()

When using fetchMode:"paged" and providing multiple levels of the tree in one DSResponse, canReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty may be set on any folder to indicate whether child folders might be returned by the server already open. If the property is set to false on a folder then subfolders of that folder are never allowed to be returned already open. This enables the paging mechanism to be more efficient in the amount of data that it requests from the server.

For example, setting the canReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty value to false on a node is appropriate if the server-side code determines that the the node's children consist of entirely leaf nodes.

Returns:

Current canReturnOpenSubfoldersProperty value. Default value is "canReturnOpenSubfolders"

See Also:

getCanReturnOpenFolders()

setChildCountProperty

public void setChildCountProperty(java.lang.String childCountProperty)
                           throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

When using fetchMode:"paged" and providing multiple levels of the tree in one DSResponse, childCountProperty must be set for any folders that include only a partial list of children. For a deeper discussion see the Paging large sets of children section of the TreeDataBinding overview.

Parameters:

childCountProperty - New childCountProperty value. Default value is "childCount"

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

See Also:

Multi-Level Child Paging Example

getChildCountProperty

public java.lang.String getChildCountProperty()

When using fetchMode:"paged" and providing multiple levels of the tree in one DSResponse, childCountProperty must be set for any folders that include only a partial list of children. For a deeper discussion see the Paging large sets of children section of the TreeDataBinding overview.

Returns:

Current childCountProperty value. Default value is "childCount"

See Also:

Multi-Level Child Paging Example

setCriteria

public void setCriteria(Criteria criteria)

The filter criteria to use when fetching rows. For usage see setCriteria().

If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Set the filter criteria to use when fetching rows.

Depending on the result of compareCriteria() and setting for fetchMode, setting criteria may cause a trip to the server to get a new set of nodes, or may simply cause already-fetched nodes to be re-filtered according to the new criteria.

For a basic overview on when server fetches are generally performed, see fetchMode. However, this is not the final determination of when server fetches occur. Criteria can be split into local criteria and server criteria by specifying serverFilterFields. Thus, even when using fetchMode:"local" a new server fetch will occur if the server criteria changes. For details on how the criteria is split, see DataSource.splitCriteria().

Note: if criteria is being split to retrieve server criteria portion and the criteria is an AdvancedCriteria, the criteria must consist of a single "and" operator and one or more simple criteria below it. No other logical operators may be used. In other words, the AdvancedCriteria provided must be exactly representable by a simple criteria.

Parameters:

criteria - the filter criteria. Default value is null

getCriteria

public Criteria getCriteria()

The filter criteria to use when fetching rows. For usage see setCriteria().

Returns:

Current criteria value. Default value is null

setData

public void setData(TreeNode... data)
             throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Optional initial data for the tree. If the fetchMode is "basic" or "local" then the format of this data is exactly the same parentId-linked list of tree nodes as documented on Tree.data (when the modelType is set to "parent"). If the fetchMode is "paged" then the format is extended to allow the childCountProperty to be set on folder nodes.

Providing an initial set of nodes in this way does not affect the behavior of the ResultTree in its loading of unloaded folders. An equivalent result is achieved if the first fetch from the server returns this same data.

If fetchMode is "paged" then you may make folder-by-folder choices as to whether to use paging for the childen of each folder. If you would like to use paging in a folder then you may include a partial list of that folder's children with the data, provided that you set the childCountProperty to the total number of children. Otherwise you will need to include either all children of the folder or none of the children. Open folders without any children provided will cause immediate, new fetches for the children, as usual.

Because the initial data is treated exactly as though it were returned from the tree's first server fetch, the order of the initial data must match the initial sort order of the TreeGrid displaying the data or, if no such sort is specified, the native storage order on the server. For example, consider initial data containing n records having the parentId "X", meaning they are all in the same folder. These n records are the records at indices 0 through (n - 1) that are stored on the server under the parent node. If the childCountProperty set on the parent node indicates that there are m > n total rows under the parent node then the records at indices n to (m - 1) will be fetched from the server as the user scrolls the additional rows into view.

Note : This is an advanced setting

Overrides:

setData in class Tree

Parameters:

data - New data value. Default value is null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

See Also:

getData

public TreeNode[] getData()

Optional initial data for the tree. If the fetchMode is "basic" or "local" then the format of this data is exactly the same parentId-linked list of tree nodes as documented on Tree.data (when the modelType is set to "parent"). If the fetchMode is "paged" then the format is extended to allow the childCountProperty to be set on folder nodes.

Providing an initial set of nodes in this way does not affect the behavior of the ResultTree in its loading of unloaded folders. An equivalent result is achieved if the first fetch from the server returns this same data.

If fetchMode is "paged" then you may make folder-by-folder choices as to whether to use paging for the childen of each folder. If you would like to use paging in a folder then you may include a partial list of that folder's children with the data, provided that you set the childCountProperty to the total number of children. Otherwise you will need to include either all children of the folder or none of the children. Open folders without any children provided will cause immediate, new fetches for the children, as usual.

Because the initial data is treated exactly as though it were returned from the tree's first server fetch, the order of the initial data must match the initial sort order of the TreeGrid displaying the data or, if no such sort is specified, the native storage order on the server. For example, consider initial data containing n records having the parentId "X", meaning they are all in the same folder. These n records are the records at indices 0 through (n - 1) that are stored on the server under the parent node. If the childCountProperty set on the parent node indicates that there are m > n total rows under the parent node then the records at indices n to (m - 1) will be fetched from the server as the user scrolls the additional rows into view.

Overrides:

getData in class Tree

Returns:

Current data value. Default value is null

setDefaultIsFolder

public void setDefaultIsFolder(java.lang.Boolean defaultIsFolder)
                        throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Controls whether nodes are assumed to be folders or leaves by default.

Nodes that have children or have the isFolderProperty set to true will always be considered folders. Other nodes will be considered folders or leaves by default according to this setting.

If defaultIsFolder is unset, the ResultTree will automatically set it to match the value of loadDataOnDemand. This means that, when using folder-by-folder load on demand (loadDataOnDemand:true), by default a newly loaded node will be considered to be a folder that has not loaded its children yet.

When not using folder-by-folder load on demand, by default a newly loaded node is considered a leaf. If you set defaultIsFolder:true explicitly, by default a newly loaded node is considered to be a folder with no children.

See Tree.isFolder() for details on how to explicitly mark nodes as folders or leaves.

Overrides:

setDefaultIsFolder in class Tree

Parameters:

defaultIsFolder - New defaultIsFolder value. Default value is null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

See Also:

TreeGrid.setLoadDataOnDemand(java.lang.Boolean)

getDefaultIsFolder

public java.lang.Boolean getDefaultIsFolder()

Controls whether nodes are assumed to be folders or leaves by default.

Nodes that have children or have the isFolderProperty set to true will always be considered folders. Other nodes will be considered folders or leaves by default according to this setting.

If defaultIsFolder is unset, the ResultTree will automatically set it to match the value of loadDataOnDemand. This means that, when using folder-by-folder load on demand (loadDataOnDemand:true), by default a newly loaded node will be considered to be a folder that has not loaded its children yet.

When not using folder-by-folder load on demand, by default a newly loaded node is considered a leaf. If you set defaultIsFolder:true explicitly, by default a newly loaded node is considered to be a folder with no children.

See Tree.isFolder() for details on how to explicitly mark nodes as folders or leaves.

Overrides:

getDefaultIsFolder in class Tree

Returns:

Current defaultIsFolder value. Default value is null

See Also:

TreeGrid.getLoadDataOnDemand()

setDefaultNewNodesToRoot

public void setDefaultNewNodesToRoot(java.lang.Boolean defaultNewNodesToRoot)

This attribute governs how to handle cache-synch when a new node is added to this dataSource with no explicit parentId.

If set to true, when a new node is added to this dataSource via DataSource.addData(), with no explicit parentId, the node will be added as a child of the root node of this result tree. Otherwise it will be ignored.

Similar logic applies to updated nodes - if this property is true and the parentId of an updated node is cleared, it will be moved to become a child of root, otherwise it will be dropped from the tree.

Note : This is an advanced setting

Parameters:

defaultNewNodesToRoot - New defaultNewNodesToRoot value. Default value is false

getDefaultNewNodesToRoot

public java.lang.Boolean getDefaultNewNodesToRoot()

This attribute governs how to handle cache-synch when a new node is added to this dataSource with no explicit parentId.

If set to true, when a new node is added to this dataSource via DataSource.addData(), with no explicit parentId, the node will be added as a child of the root node of this result tree. Otherwise it will be ignored.

Similar logic applies to updated nodes - if this property is true and the parentId of an updated node is cleared, it will be moved to become a child of root, otherwise it will be dropped from the tree.

Returns:

Current defaultNewNodesToRoot value. Default value is false

setDisableCacheSync

public void setDisableCacheSync(java.lang.Boolean disableCacheSync)
                         throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

By default when the data of this ResultTree's dataSource is modified, the ResultTree will be updated to display these changes. Set this flag to true to disable this behavior.

Note : This is an advanced setting

Parameters:

disableCacheSync - New disableCacheSync value. Default value is false

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

getDisableCacheSync

public java.lang.Boolean getDisableCacheSync()

By default when the data of this ResultTree's dataSource is modified, the ResultTree will be updated to display these changes. Set this flag to true to disable this behavior.

Returns:

Current disableCacheSync value. Default value is false

setDiscardParentlessNodes

public void setDiscardParentlessNodes(java.lang.Boolean discardParentlessNodes)
                               throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

When data is loaded from the server, should nodes with an explicit value for the Tree.parentIdField which doesn't map to a valid parent node be dropped? If set to false, for TreeGrid.loadDataOnDemand:false trees, parentless nodes will be added as children of the root node - for TreeGrid.loadDataOnDemand:true, they will be added as children of the folder currently requesting children.

This effectively allows nodes to be loaded into the current (or root) folder without needing an explicit parentIdField value that matches the folder's ID or rootValue for the resultTree.

Note: For loadDataOnDemand:false trees, if this property is unset at init time, it will default to true if an explicit rootNode has been specified. This ensures that if the data tree retrieved from the server includes ancestors of the desired root-node we don't display them. Otherwise this property always defaults to false.

Note : This is an advanced setting

Overrides:

setDiscardParentlessNodes in class Tree

Parameters:

discardParentlessNodes - New discardParentlessNodes value. Default value is null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

getDiscardParentlessNodes

public java.lang.Boolean getDiscardParentlessNodes()

When data is loaded from the server, should nodes with an explicit value for the Tree.parentIdField which doesn't map to a valid parent node be dropped? If set to false, for TreeGrid.loadDataOnDemand:false trees, parentless nodes will be added as children of the root node - for TreeGrid.loadDataOnDemand:true, they will be added as children of the folder currently requesting children.

This effectively allows nodes to be loaded into the current (or root) folder without needing an explicit parentIdField value that matches the folder's ID or rootValue for the resultTree.

Note: For loadDataOnDemand:false trees, if this property is unset at init time, it will default to true if an explicit rootNode has been specified. This ensures that if the data tree retrieved from the server includes ancestors of the desired root-node we don't display them. Otherwise this property always defaults to false.

Overrides:

getDiscardParentlessNodes in class Tree

Returns:

Current discardParentlessNodes value. Default value is null

setFetchMode

public void setFetchMode(FetchMode fetchMode)
                  throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Mode of fetching records from server.

fetchMode:"local" implies that local filtering will always be performed. See keepParentsOnFilter for additional filtering details.

fetchMode:"basic" or "paged" implies that if search criteria change, the entire tree will be discarded and re-fetched from the server. When retrieving the replacement tree data, the default behavior will be to preserve the openState for any nodes that the server returns which were previously opened by the user. Note that this implies that if loadDataOnDemand is enabled and the server returns only root-level nodes, open state will be preserved only for root-level nodes, and children of open root-level nodes will be immediately fetched from the server if they are not included in the server's initial response.

fetchMode:"paged" enables paging for nodes that have very large numbers of children. Whenever the children of a folder are loaded, the resultTree will set DSRequest.startRow and endRow when requesting children from the DataSource, and will manage loading of further children on demand, similar to how a ResultSet manages paging for lists. For a deeper discussion see the Paging large sets of children section of the TreeDataBinding overview.

Parameters:

fetchMode - New fetchMode value. Default value is "basic"

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

setImplicitCriteria

public void setImplicitCriteria(Criteria implicitCriteria)

Criteria that are never shown to or edited by the user and are cumulative with any criteria provided via DataBoundComponent.initialCriteria, setCriteria() etc.

Parameters:

implicitCriteria - New implicitCriteria value. Default value is null

getImplicitCriteria

public Criteria getImplicitCriteria()

Criteria that are never shown to or edited by the user and are cumulative with any criteria provided via DataBoundComponent.initialCriteria, setCriteria() etc.

setKeepParentsOnFilter

public void setKeepParentsOnFilter(java.lang.Boolean keepParentsOnFilter)
                            throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

If set, tree-based filtering is performed such that parent nodes are kept as long as they have children that match the filter criteria, even if the parents themselves do not match the filter criteria. If not set, filtering will exclude parent nodes not matching the criteria and all nodes below it in the tree.

When keepParentsOnFilter is enabled for paged ResultTrees, server-side filtering is required.

When enabled for non-paged trees, fetchMode:"local" is automatically enabled so that all filtering behavior shifts to the client-side and full criteria are no longer sent to the server. Instead, server fetches will always load all nodes, or with loadDataOnDemand:true, will always load all nodes under a given parent. This means that the server does not need to implement special tree filtering logic.

Optionally, serverFilterFields can be set to a list of field names that will be sent to the server whenever they are present in the criteria.

Parameters:

keepParentsOnFilter - New keepParentsOnFilter value. Default value is null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

See Also:

TreeDataBinding overview and related methods

setProgressiveLoading

public void setProgressiveLoading(java.lang.Boolean progressiveLoading)

Sets progressive loading mode for this ResultTree. The ResultTree will copy this setting onto the DSRequests that it issues, overriding the OperationBinding- and DataSource-level settings, in cases where the use of progressive loading does not affect the correctness of the tree's paging algorithm.

When a successful Add, Update or Remove type operation fires on this ResultTree's dataSource, if DSResponse.data is unset, should we integrate the submitted data values (from the request) into our data-set?

Note : This is an advanced setting

Parameters:

updateCacheFromRequest - New updateCacheFromRequest value. Default value is true

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

setUseSimpleCriteriaLOD

public void setUseSimpleCriteriaLOD(boolean useSimpleCriteriaLOD)

Whether or not we should skip promotion of a simple criteria to an AdvancedCriteria when sending the DSRequest to load the children of a node in a loadDataOnDemand or fetchMode:"paged" ResultTree. If the DSRequest.textMatchStyle is not "exact", we normally convert the simple criteria to an AdvancedCriteria for correctness in matching the node name, but setting this property to true will allow that to be skipped for backcompat with older releases.

Note : This is an advanced setting

Parameters:

useSimpleCriteriaLOD - New useSimpleCriteriaLOD value. Default value is false

dataArrived

public void dataArrived(TreeNode parentNode)

This callback fires whenever the resultTree receives new nodes from the server, after the new nodes have been integrated into the tree.

Parameters:

parentNode - The parentNode for which children were just loaded

get

public TreeNode get(int pos)

Get the item in the openList at a particular position.

Overrides:

get in class RecordList

Parameters:

pos - position of the node to get

Returns:

node at that position

getOpenState

public java.lang.String getOpenState()

Returns a snapshot of the current open state of this tree's data as a TreeGridOpenState object.

This object can be passed to setOpenState() or TreeGrid.setOpenState() to open the same set of folders within the tree's data (assuming the nodes are still present in the data).

Returns:

current open state for the grid. See TreeGridOpenState

See Also:

setOpenState(java.lang.String)

getRange

public TreeNode[] getRange(int start,
                           int end)

Get a range of items from the open list

Overrides:

getRange in class RecordList

Parameters:

start - start position

end - end position (NOT inclusive)

Returns:

list of nodes in the open list

invalidateCache

public void invalidateCache()

Manually invalidate this ResultTree's cache.

Generally a ResultTree will observe and incorporate updates to the DataSource that provides its records, but when this is not possible, invalidateCache() allows manual cache invalidation.

Components bound to this ResultTree will typically re-request the currently visible portion of the dataset, causing the ResultTree to re-fetch data from the server.

setChildren

public void setChildren(TreeNode parent,
                        java.util.List newChildren)

Replaces the existing children of a parent node. This leaves the node in the loaded state (unless a partially loaded set of children is specified using the optional totalChildren argument). The supplied array of children may be null or empty to indicate there are none, but if present must be in the standard format as would be sent from the server, as described by TreeDataBinding.

In particular, note that for a paged ResultTree, each child node:

:
• can have nested children spcified under the Tree.childrenProperty (but not via TreeNode.id/TreeNode.parentId linking)
• cannot be open unless it includes either a complete set of children, or partial set of children and a childCount

Overrides:

setChildren in class Tree

Parameters:

parent - parent of children

newChildren - children to be set

See Also:

Tree.removeChildren(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tree.TreeNode), DataSource.updateCaches(com.smartgwt.client.data.DSResponse)

setChildren

public void setChildren(TreeNode parent,
                        java.util.List newChildren,
                        java.lang.Integer totalChildren)

Replaces the existing children of a parent node. This leaves the node in the loaded state (unless a partially loaded set of children is specified using the optional totalChildren argument). The supplied array of children may be null or empty to indicate there are none, but if present must be in the standard format as would be sent from the server, as described by TreeDataBinding.

In particular, note that for a paged ResultTree, each child node:

:
• can have nested children spcified under the Tree.childrenProperty (but not via TreeNode.id/TreeNode.parentId linking)
• cannot be open unless it includes either a complete set of children, or partial set of children and a childCount

Parameters:

parent - parent of children

newChildren - children to be set

totalChildren - number of total children (if not all have been provided as newChildren); only allowed if paging

See Also:

Tree.removeChildren(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tree.TreeNode), DataSource.updateCaches(com.smartgwt.client.data.DSResponse)

setOpenState

public void setOpenState(java.lang.String openState)

Reset the set of open folders within this tree's data to match the TreeGridOpenState object passed in.

Used to restore previous state retrieved from the tree by a call to getOpenState().

Parameters:

openState - Object describing the desired set of open folders. See TreeGridOpenState

See Also:

getOpenState(), TreeGridOpenState

unloadChildren

public void unloadChildren(TreeNode node)

Deprecated. It's recommended that you instead use Tree.reloadChildren() to reload the children of a folder, or Tree.removeChildren() if you need to clear the cached children of a folder to add specific local data.

Unload the children of a folder, returning the folder to the "unloaded" state.

Overrides:

unloadChildren in class Tree

Parameters:

node - folder in question

willFetchData

public java.lang.Boolean willFetchData(Criteria newCriteria)

Will changing the criteria for this resultTree require fetching new data from the server or can the new criteria be satisfied from data already cached on the client?

This method can be used to determine whether TreeGrid.fetchData() or TreeGrid.filterData() will cause a server side fetch when passed a certain set of criteria.

Parameters:

newCriteria - new criteria to test.

Returns:

true if server fetch would be required to satisfy new criteria.

setDefaultProperties

public static void setDefaultProperties(ResultTree resultTreeProperties)

Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties set on the SmartGWT class instance passed to this function before its underlying SmartClient JS object was created. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

Parameters:

resultTreeProperties - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created

See Also:

SGWTProperties

setDataSource

setRootNode

public void setRootNode(com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject rootNode)
                 throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

This attribute may be used to specify a root value for the parentIdField of this resultTree. This overrides the default rootValue for this tree, allowing a component to navigate a tree starting at a specific node.

Parameters:

rootNode - rootNode Default value is null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

getRootNode

public com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject getRootNode()
