I haven't tried using anchors in JSF but presumably that would be the
solution. Since the nodes are all JSF objects if you can find a way
to add a '#foo' to the URL then you could scroll to the specific
location. I don't believe there is a way to do this in the JSF spec
but its probably something that should be supported. Your use case is
a pretty common one (I've experienced this before.)
There is a post on the Sun forum that deals with the issue[1]. Maybe
this is a case for a new attribute for commandLink/commandButton?

Dear All,
we are happily using tree2 & the problem I have is to do with the scrolling.
Is there anyway to tell the scrooling mechanism to scroll to a given node?
i.e. we have a tree which is sufficiently large that it needs a scroll
bar etc. When we add a new node, it is added to the end of the tree in
some applications & in a sorted position in others (e.g. the nodes are
alphabetically sorted).his means that when a user clicks to add a new
node, he has to scroll down to the end of what might be a large tree
every time which can get to be a pain for those inserting data.
I add a node as follows:
Node XPNode = deb.addChildN();
String path = dtb.getpathToRoot(XPNode);
dtb.tree.expandPath(dtb.tree.getPathInformation(path));
& the node happily expands etc but....that in no way interacts with the
scrolling. i..e the node is expanded but it's still off the page &
requires scrolling to get to it.
So how do I (can I?) set the focus to the node added as above such that
the scrolling mechanism takes the user to that node?
TIA
Adam
