That is a good idea! That will keep me from messing with the extra
storage and I won't have to go to two different places for parent child
relationships. I was hoping there was something already created for
what I am trying to do that would make the process easier. I appreciate
your help! Thanks for the examples at
http://wicket-tree.appspot.com/nested. There is not much out there on
the trees in Wicket 6 yet and that helped tremendously!

If your domain objects have a reference to their parents, why bother
with the component structure?
You can walk up your domain tree to search the 'previous' one. All you
have to do, is re-applying the ordering when you iterate over the
children.

The domain objects do know the parent, but they do not know what
order they exist within their siblings.
Usecase:
- I have a tree of departments that has a list of employees in the
tree where the parent node is the department and the child nodes are
employees.
- The tree is handling navigation on the left of my screen. When an
employee is selected, the right side of the screen allows the
employee to be edited.
- If I remove an employee by clicking a delete link on the right of
the screen, I want the node to be removed in the tree and the
selection to move to the previous node in the list.
- The user can toggle the employee tree nodes between an alphabetical
order and an order that groups the employees by the job they perform.
Changing how the employee nodes in the tree are ordered is part of
the ISortableTreeProvider and not the domain objects. The domain
objects are always the same as it is only the display that is being
manipulated.
Walking the Wicket component tree sounds like it would work, but I am
not sure how much easier it would be than setting parent and children
on node in ITreeProvider#Iterator<? extends T> getChildren(T node).
It does seem like it would remove the need for redundant data. Is
there a good way to grab the content component associated to the
selected model? I suppose I could just store the component when I
store the selected model.

I see, you've been using part of Swing's API to traverse the tree.
Don't your domain objects of the tree know their parents? If not,
you may be able to walk up the Wicket component tree to the parental
tree item to get the parent domain object.
What do you use this for? What's your usecase?

I am still using the deprecated tree and am building the new tree
in a sandbox, so I am able to put the update on hold if there is a
good solution on the way in the next few weeks. We are attempting
to move to the new tree so that we are not having to scramble once
the deprecated methods are removed. In 1.5, I am extending
DefaultMutableTreeNode and the tree model took care of setting up
the the next and previous nodes. I was able to call
DefaultMutableTreeNode#getPreviousNode() to get the previous node.
I still had to write more complex logic to move up through parent
nodes when my selected node was index 0.
For now, I am adding the parent node and its children to each tree
node object after sorting it in ITreeProvider#Iterator<? extends T>
getChildren(T node);. Once that happens, I can grab the parent
from the selected node and move through the children via indexes.
I tried just moving through the nodes in my data cache in the
provider, but that created a problem as the data cache is not
sorted and I am using ISortableTreeProvider to do that work. I may
be going about this the right way for what I need, but it seems to
me that I am making it harder than it should be.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
when do you need this information? How did you do it in 1.5?

SelectableFolderContent). Is there an easy way to do this?
