Well, to be honest, I do not think I am wanting to change the tree as much as I am wanting to change the Treenode data that the tree takes. The tree takes a value from a backing bean that returns a TreeNode Object. Guess I am trying to figure out a way for a jsp developer to dynamically change the way that this TreeNode is built without having to access the bean itself and hardcoding the specifics. As you know, I am using the tree2 component to display the directory structure of the log files on my appserver. However, this directory path is hardcoded into the bean during the Treenode creation. I would like to be able to pass this starting directory into the tree, so that it can be read in before the treeNode is actually built. So to recap, the tree itself is great, works like a champ, I am just trying to figure a way to pass in parameters, via jsp, into the method that builds the TreeNode.
