ExtJs 4 Tree Panel sample code - Java Servlet, JSON and MySQL

This tutorial covers the following topics
  • How to create a ExtJs 4 Tree Panel
  • Expanding and collapsing of the Tree Nodes
  • Get Tree node data from Java Servlet in JSON format
  • Database behind the Tree node is MySQL
  • Tree node click event to capture the node value and other attributes that can be useful for further processing
  • Basic Drag and Drop plugin
  • Asynchronous loading through a TreeStore and AjaxProxy.

The TreePanel Ext.tree.Panel provides tree-structured UI representation of tree-structured data. A TreePanel must be bound to a Ext.data.TreeStore. The TreeStore is a store implementation that is backed by by an Ext.data.Tree. It provides convenience methods for loading nodes, as well as the ability to use the hierarchical tree structure combined with a store.In our Tree example we start with Continents, from there you can drill down to Regions and then to Countries.
