Question

I am using primefaces 3.1 with `, having four positions.
In the west position(west) I have added tree menu. JSF code is follows

<p:layoutUnit position="west" size="200" header="Left"
            resizable="true" collapsible="true">
            <h:form>
                <p:tree dynamic="true" value="#{treeBean.root}" var="node" id="tree"
                    selectionMode="single">
                    <p:treeNode id="treeNode">
                        <h:outputText value="#{node}" id="lblNode" />
                    </p:treeNode>
                </p:tree>
            </h:form>
        </p:layoutUnit>

and in the TreeBean I have

root = new DefaultTreeNode("Root", null);  
        TreeNode node0 = new DefaultTreeNode("Color", root);  


        TreeNode node00 = new DefaultTreeNode("Red", node0);  
        TreeNode node01 = new DefaultTreeNode("Blue", node0);
        TreeNode node02 = new DefaultTreeNode("Green", node0);

Is it possible to have navigation when I expand and click one of those nodes and upon clicking respective nodes how could I display jsf pages in the center position of layout. i.e. if I click node Blue, ideally I would like to have another jsf page being loaded into the center position of layout.

Any help is highly appreciable.

Thanks

Update 1

I have added the following code and it does a navigation to start.xhtml. However start.xhtml is displayed not inside my layout, start.xhtml is displayed as a new page.

public void onNodeSelect(NodeSelectEvent event) {

        try {
            System.out.println(" here " + event.getTreeNode().getData());
            FacesContext
                    .getCurrentInstance()
                    .getApplication()
                    .getNavigationHandler()
                    .handleNavigation(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),
                            "null", "/start.xhtml?faces-redirect=true");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            logger.info("error "+e.getMessage());
            // TODO: handle exception
        }

I think that this post will be very useful for you Include one xhtml inside another JSF

It describes how you create a template and then use it in your template client. @rags already told you that, but you don’t really have to use <p:layout>. Article linked above is just more precise. I believe you will find what you need there. Regards
