私の解決策
Apparently there is no way to directly get at the Tree structure altered by Drag and Drop.
I reasoned that TreePanelView = TreePanel.getView() might have the Drag and Drop chaanges.
By examining TreePanelView in the debugger after a drag and drop I devise this solution:
/*
* These 'My' classes are used to access the internal tree within TreePanelView.
* The internal tree reflects Drag and Drop activity,
* which is NOT reflected in the TreeStore.
*/
private class MyTreePanel<M extends ModelData> extends TreePanel<M> {
public MyTreePanel(TreeStore<M> ts) {
super(ts);
view = new MyView<M>();
view.bind(this, store);
}
public MyView<M> getMyView() {
return (MyView<M>) getView();
}
}
private class MyView<M extends ModelData> extends TreePanelView<M> {
public MyTreeStore<M> getTreeStore() {
return (MyTreeStore<M>) this.treeStore;
}
}
private class MyTreeStore<M extends ModelData> extends TreeStore<M> {
public MyTreeStore() {
super();
}
public Map<M, TreeModel> getModelMap() {
return modelMap;
}
}
To extract the tree altered by Drag and Drop:
MyTreePanel<ModelData> myTree; //Initialize the TreeStore appropriately
// After Drag and Drop activity, get the altered tree thusly:
Map<ModelData, TreeModel> viewMap = myTree.getMyView().getTreeStore().getModelMap();
The TreeModel in viewMap is actually a BaseTreeModel.
The ModelData are the objects I originally loaded into TreeStore.
I had to:
1 - Iterate over viewMap, extract "id" from BaseTreeModel and create a reverse map,
indexed by "id" and containing my ModelData objects.
2 - Fetch root BaseTreeModel node from viewMap using root ModelData of original tree.
3 - Walk the BaseTreeModel tree.
At each node, fetched ModelData objects by "id" from the reverse map.
In this way I reconstructed the tree altered by Drag and Drop.
