extending tree2

[Dennis_Byrne]

In order to have an attribute that will expand all nodes of tree2 when it is first rendered, I've extended the following classes.

org.apache.myfaces.custom.tree2.TreeTag
org.apache.myfaces.custom.tree2.HtmlTreeRenderer

The strategy at this point is to overide the decode method of the renderer.  Writing the tld and getting an 'expandAllInit' attribute value from my JSP to the Tag handler is fine, but I am searching for a way to get this value from w/in the renderer.  Thoughts?
