Navigation Bar on left side of screen

[Shoemaker, Michael (N-MAXIM Group)]

Hello folks

I am a newbie in the jsp arena but have fairly extensive Java experience.
Got a few quick questions for you.  I have been tasked with putting together
a navigation frame that will be anchored on the left side of the screen.
This navigation bar will have bullet points and then a link next to each
bullet.  As you select the links, the bullets will change from green to
red(active choice) and the target frame(on right) will display appropriate
page.  Each entry can also have sub entries.  Id like to handle this similar
to the triangles used in Lotus Notes.  I have a couple design questions.

I want to have this menu.jsp page get the valid entries from a javabean.
Therefore I can encapsulate all the business logic, i.e. who has access to
which pages, and keep the jsp doing presentation only things.  Does this
seem reasonable?

If any of you have done this kind of thing before, Id love to take a look at
the page.  Also, any lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mike
