We want a Tree.  Actually we are using a checkbox tree.  What we are doing
is looping through the collection and creating a dynamic object for the
branch node and dynamically place a "children" attribute on it and place the
correct collection in it.  Simply, only about 5-10 lines of code.  Certainly
don't like looping through the collection, but it works and this is only for
setup screens that are not used very often in our application.

Subject: Re: [AFFUG Discuss] Tree component with a flat VO

If it's only one level of depth then another construct might be more
appropriate - try an accordion or tab navigator - of you want it to actually
express the 'description' only when that item is selected perhaps a
toolTipFunction (with an underlying custom class) might do the trick.

Other than that, you'll have to build a custom renderer that has to
determine if there are are children for the displayed element to determine
if the name or description is displayed (branch or leaf) and behave for
each.
