The easiest solution would be to set the initialDepth to a larger number (1 or 2) on the tree control. However, this might fetch too many children.
To open a specific node on the client side you can script the tree itself and force the Tree to load a branch. Have a look in the online docs at the CAF.Tree.Model section.
The docs discuss how you can test for whether a node has children, whether they’ve been loaded yet, and how to force the node to load children.
CAF.Tree.Row.Model.setOpen(true)
Hope this helps.
