formIds attribute not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The formIds attribute does not appear to be working. Expect it to work similar 
to the grid component.

Which struts2 version?
struts2-core-2.3.15.1

Which struts2-jquery plugin version?
struts2-jquery-tree-plugin-3.6.1

Please provide any additional information below.

We have a form to hold various id's ...

<div style="display:none">
<s:form id="binForm" action="home" method="POST">
    <s:hidden id="binId" name="binId"/>
    <s:hidden id="itemId" name="itemId"/>
    <s:hidden id="hierId" name="hierId"/>
        .
        .
        .
        .       
    <s:hidden id="anotherId" name="anotherId"/>
</s:form>
</div>

There are selectors on the page to set the "binId" and other id values.

A notional tree action execute method (return JSON data) ...

    public String execute() throws Exception {              
        log.info("binId= " + this.getBinId());

        // if the id's are NOT passed on the url, they are null in the action.

        nodeList = treenodeDAO.list(this.getBinId()); // retrieve the node list for the given bin from the database
        // code to build the TreeNode hierarchy from the flat list
        // .
        // .
        // .        

        return SUCCESS;
    }

The notional tree jsp ...

<s:url var="treeDataUrl" 
action="MY_jsonNotionalTreeAction?binId=%{binId}&anotherId=%{anotherId}&etc..."/
>
 !!! required id's are added to the url as a work-around because the formIds attribute does not work on the tree !!!

                              'ccp' : false,
                              'remove' : false,
                              'additem' : { 
                                      'label': 'Add Item', 
                                      'action':  function (obj) { myAddItem(obj); }
                              } 
                      } 
              }"

/>

A notional grid action (return JSON data) ...

    public String execute() throws Exception {              
        log.info("binId= " + this.getBinId());
        itemList = treenodeDAO.list(this.getBinId()); // retrieve the items for the given bin from the database
        // code to build the grid model from the flat list
        // .
        // .
        // .        

        return SUCCESS;
    }

The component for this issue should be Tree-Plugin and not Grid-Plugin.  
Tree-Plugin is not working as expected (the formIds attribute of the tree is 
being ignored).
Grid-Plugin is working correctly (the fields of the forms referred to in the 
formIds attribute are included in the request packet for the grid).

Thank you for sample. I will check out if the same solution for grid plugin 
will work for tree plugin too.
