The tree just happens to be the object with the methods you are calling. The method will indicated isExpanded (and toggleExpanded) for the *current node* (not the tree itself.) The tree component is the actual bean with these methods that gets called by the value binding expression. The tree always knows what the "current node" is because it has access to the model that is being iterrated over.

At this point I have enough code that its worth checking in and having people look at it. sean ps. Have you tried my WAR example yet?
