I have managed to integrate the AjaxCategoryPicker from the advancedSearch into the propertySheet with the help of a component-generator. In the AjaxCategoryPicker you have the option to set the initial category selection (where in the category tree to start). Normally you set this from the jsp tag, but since I use this in the propertySheet with my component-generator I don't have that option.
My question is:
Is it in any way possible to dynamically provide parameters to a component-generator?
I think I might be looking at the same use case, how to improve the user experience of picking categories in Explorer, plus how define where in the category to start. We have a very large category tree and it is causing serious pain.
