[Trinidad] XMLMenuModel Help

[Daniel Matriccino - Solid Cactus <Da...@solidcactus.com>]

Hi,

I have a question on using the Trinidad navigationPane with
XMLMenuModel.  The top level of the tree I built is shown ( Home  |
Reports)  .. however when I click on any of the top level menu items,
it's children aren't shown. Instead the top level menu is shown again.
Here is the current code that I have:
 
menu.xml: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<menu xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/menu">
  <itemNode id="home" label="Home" action="home"
focusViewId="/project/home/accountHome.faces">
    <itemNode id="config" label="Config" action="config"
focusViewId="/project/config/index.faces" />
    <itemNode id="addstore" label="Add Store" action="addStore"
focusViewId="/project/home/addStore.faces" />
  </itemNode>
    
  <itemNode id="top_menu_reports" label="Reports" action="reports"
focusViewId="/project/reports/index.faces">  
  </itemNode>
</menu>
 
faces-config.xml:

  <managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>xmlMenu</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>
      org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.XMLMenuModel
    </managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
    <managed-property>
      <property-name>source</property-name>
      <property-class>java.lang.String</property-class>
      <value>/WEB-INF/menu.xml</value>
    </managed-property>    
  </managed-bean> 

jsf page:

  <!-- This Menu Renders ( Home  |   Reports) -->
  <div class="header">
 <tr:navigationPane value="#{xmlMenu}" level="0" var="item" hint="bar">
  <f:facet name="nodeStamp">
                    <tr:commandNavigationItem text="#{item.label}"
action="#{item.doAction}"/>
  </f:facet> 
 </tr:navigationPane>
  </div>
 

  <!-- This renders the top level menu as well ( Home  |   Reports)
... If Home is selected it SHOULD render  "Config"  and "Add Store" -->
  <div class="leftmenu">
 <tr:navigationPane value="#{xmlMenu}" level="1" var="item" hint="list">
  <f:facet name="nodeStamp">
   <tr:commandNavigationItem text="#{item.label}"
action="#{item.doAction}"/>
  </f:facet> 
 </tr:navigationPane>
  </div>


If I use a navigationTree with the startLevel of 0 and the value as my
xmlMenu, it will render the entire tree correctly. Do I need to tell the
navigationPane which top level Item that is selected? If so, how would I
go about doing this?
 
Thank you in advanced for your help.
 
Danny
