getting node data from rich tree on user selection

I have had the problem to get node data from a richfaces tree, if the user selects a node. I have used a recursive tree adapter:

<rich:tree switchType="server"
           stateAdvisor="#{treeStateAdvisor}"
           nodeSelectListener="#{treeMgrt.onSelect}">
                 
   <rich:recursiveTreeNodesAdaptor roots="#{treeMgrt.roots}" var="item" nodes=" {item.nodes}">

     <rich:treeNode>
         <h:outputText value="#{item}"/>
     </rich:treeNode> 
          
  </rich:recursiveTreeNodesAdaptor>
</rich:tree>  

The method in my tree manager onSelect(…) looks like this:

public void onSelect(final NodeSelectedEvent event) {
  final UITree theTree = this.getTree(event);
  if (null == theTree) {
    return;
  }
  final Object rowKey = theTree.getRowKey();
  // this works better
  final Object rowData = theTree.getRowData(rowKey);
  if (rowData instanceof ProductNode) {
    this.selectedNode = (ProductNode) rowData;
  }
}

Normally you can use theTree.getTreeNode(); but with a recursive tree model which method returns alway null. Instead of this I have used the getRowData() method which works for me.
I have filed a bug for richfaces. Hope the problem becomes shortly a solution.
