Thank you. 
I am unclear on where the classes QueryBuilderTreeDelegate and 
ReferenceDataBrowserDelegate are supposed to be.

I realize that I can implement ITreeDataDescriptor and use getChildren() to 
provide the 
children of any given node.  What I don't know how to do is fetch a node's 
child data 
asynchronously from the server. getChildren() has to return something right 
away, so what 
does the callback function (from the asynchronous server call) do? Should it 
fire an event 
to the tree? If so, which one?
