You are writing that you implement your own TreeModel. Is it really neccessary in your use case? In my experience the Trinidad framework already can take care of a lot of things (including lazy loading of children, for example).
I find the following approach very useful: 1. Create a bean that models a node/leaf in your tree with accessor methods for properties (in your case: department name and such). 2. Add a "getChildren()" method that returns a list of these bean instances (in your case: the subdepartments). 3. Wrap the root(s) of your tree in a list and then in a ChildPropertyTreeModel . A longer explanation can be found here: http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/trinidad-api/apidocs/org/apache/myfaces/trinidad/model/ChildPropertyTreeModel.html To your problem: How do you generate the children? Load them lazily from the database? Is it possible that on the first load only the first child is actually generated? Did you use a debugger in the place where you create the children? (Disclaimer: I have mostly used tr:treeTable and not tr:tree so this may not be applicable to your case.)
