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?

Thanks. It does appear to be a fairly std thing for a tree to do. Maybe
some sort of "setFocus" method on the tree where like expand you provide
a path? In fact you could combine expand and setFocus into one i.e.
calling setFocus should expand that node/path & then set the focus onto
that node.
e.g.:
String path = dtb.getpathToRoot(XPNode);
dtb.tree.setFocus(dtb.tree.getPathInformation(path));
