Hi Andrew, I updated my getChildrenCount() method to avoid loading multiple times. My tree is much faster especially when a node is expanded. Thanks a lot for your help.
I am trying to add AjaxAnywhere now. I don't have much time left to play with it. Without a good understanding of Ajax, I started with downloading your jsfCompAA-0.1.jar file, and downloaded the ajaxanywhere-1.1.0.6.jar. I updated the web.xml file and put the aa.js under the ui root directory. Then I tried to update my tree.jsp file following the code snippets on your blogs. The application was deployed fine, but the tree did not show up. I could not find any error messages anywhere. Did I miss something obvious? Do you have a complete jsp file example somewhere? Do I have to update the backend?

It is extremely simple to add AjaxAnywhere. there is a small bit of JavaScript configuration to write that can be done once for all your pages (you basically setup which form(s) to use with AJAX and also tell AA if you want to replace the command button action with AJAX or not). I use AA 1.1.0.6 for stability reasons (had problems with >= 1.2 on facelets). The code from source forge has an example WAR that has AA working with a tree2.
