Values from checkboxes not received on submit, when branches are collapsed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: TOMAHAWK-521
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-521
     Project: MyFaces Tomahawk
        Type: Bug

  Components: Tree2  
    Versions: 1.1.3    
 Environment: NetBean IDE 5.0
JSF 1.1 RI
Sun Java System Application Server 9
Java EE SDK 5 Windows
    Reporter: Bjørn Stenfeldt
    Priority: Minor


I think this issue is best explained with an example, so here goes...

I have a tree root. It is not expanded. It has a checkbox, which is not checked.
[+][ ] root

Then I expand the root, which reveals 2 children. The children too have 
checkboxes that are not checked.
[-][ ] root
    |
    - [ ] child1
    |
    - [ ] child2

I now check the root and the 2 children. If I were to submit now, everything 
would work as expected. Values from all 3 checkboxes would be received. But I 
won't...
[-][x] root
    |
    - [x] child1
    |
    - [x] child2

... Instead I will collaps the tree again, leaving only the root visible.
[+][x] root

Finally, I submit the tree. In my backing bean I will then only receive the 
checkbox value of the root. The checkbox value of child1 and child2 is not 
submitted. Values from the 2 children do exist in the request scope, but for 
some reason the backing bean is not set with them.



Here follows the code I'm using...

JSF:
<html:form id="createHost">
<tomahawk:tree2 id="clientTree" value="#{ModuleBean.moduleHierarchy}"
                var="node" showRootNode="false" clientSideToggle="true">

            <tomahawk:htmlTag value="div">
                <html:outputText value="#{node.description}"/>
                <html:outputText value=" (#{node.childCount})"
                                 styleClass="childCount"
                                 rendered="#{!empty node.children}"/>
            </tomahawk:htmlTag>
        </html:panelGroup>
    </core:facet>
    <core:facet name="module">

                                             value="#{HostBean.moduleId}">
                    <tomahawk:treeCheckbox for="moduleId"
                                           itemValue="#{node.identifier}"
                                           itemLabel="#{node.description}"/>
