public class NavigationNodeFactory
extends com.sun.jsftemplating.component.factory.ComponentFactoryBase

The NavigationNodeFactory provides an abstraction layer for the a tree node component, currently implemented as a Woodstock treeNode component. This provides the ability to change the treeNode implementation to another component or set, or a different component type altogether. The supported attributes are:

• id - The ID of the component. While IDs are optional, it is a good idea to provide a specific ID, especially if one expects to want to add nodes under this node in the future.
• label - The text label for the navigation node
• url - An optional URL
• icon - The URL to an image for the tree's root icon
• target - An optional target to specify on the link created for this node (e.g., '_blank')
• expanded - A boolean indicating whether or not this node should be expanded by default.
• template - An optional parameter which indicates what template should be used to decorate the page to which this node links. The value will be a relative path to a template file provided by the Admin Console or one of its plugins (e.g., '/pluginId/templates/customLayout.xhtml'). The default value is /templates/default.layout. If the url parameter points to an external resource, the URL rendered will point a page in the admin console. This page will then read the contents of the users-specified URL and display those contents in the appropriate spot in the specified template.
• processPage - This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the template parameter. By default, the page referred to by the URL will displayed as is. If, however, the plugin author provides a page which does not represent HTML, but instead represents the admin console's native data format, the parameter should be set to true.
