Tree View Structure

[Nithya]

Hi

I need to develop/ use a tree view. It should be displayed in a jsp
page..
The structure will somewhat look like this:


Root

/ | \
/ | \
C1 C2 C3
/ | \ \ / | \
C1a C1b C1c C23a C3a C3b
Child can also have multiple parents..
What can be done for this? Can I get the code/ component from
somewhere? If not how can this be developed??

If not can I get some flow details regarding this structure?



Regards
Nithya

You mean it will end up HTML?

Root

/ | \

C1 C2 C3

/ | \ \ / | \
C1a C1b C1c C23a C3a C3b

Nu-uh.. that blows the nested list.

How about an applet?

..Can I get the code/ component from

...once you have figured how to structure
your data, and in fact implemented that
structure, you could write the data directly
into the web page as an attribute for the applet.

I use an applet on my sites* called LiveGraphics 3D.
* <http://www.1point1c.org/model/index.jsp>

It could do the rendering. You can see it reading
data directly from a web page here..

That is how you might approach the rendering
part of this problem. I am not sure about
the rest.

If a child can have multiple parents you don't have a tree--you have a
graph. The rendering technique will vary depending on whether your graph
will have cycles and how you want to handle the extra links.

Search the web and SourceForge. I would think that your application details
will be too specific to be able to use a generic solution and you'll have to
do up your own. I'm not sure if JSP will handle this (I'm not a JSP person)
but I have coded this both as an applet and an image-generating servlet.

That's right. There's a sourceforge project called JGraph that handles
graphs.
