Re: [Stripes-users] Maven convention
I am curious if there are any things related to security that are going into 1.5.4. I think the only thing lacking with stripes is security and while i understand the argument that there are other frameworks that handle security well, i feel large corporate tech shops turn down proposals from architects pushing stripes because of its lack of security consideration ...security is perhaps one of the most important factors when it comes to IT heads adopting a new framework; if they have to use say spring security with stripes, then they are going to go spring all the way in many cases i think as the impression is that it will be more economical to pour resources into learning/adopting a single framework rather than two. Just my 2 pennies...

Re: [Stripes-users] ActionBean and "PageOnLoad"
Nice. I had actually ordered that book this morning before even posting my question. I was hoping for a solution before the book gets here however. In my case i'm not really trying to build a menu, but rather tabs. To do that, i feel i need a way to be able to reference an actionbean from the layout component that is always visible and when pages are loaded rather than submitted. That way i can either call a method on the actionbean to determine if the current user is entitled or not to view certain areas of the page. Not quite sure yet how to do it.

[Stripes-users] ActionBean and "PageOnLoad"
Hi, I am using stripes layout to create a 'master page' of sorts. One of the layout component (the 'header' layout) is responsible for rending the horizontal tab menu on the page. Since this is the header, it appears for all pages of course. I need the tabs that are displayed to be dynamic based on user roles. For instance, If a user is Guest vs a Registered User, the tabs will be different. If a user is an "Administrator", an Admin tab will show. etc. My base actionbean has a method that that delegates to a SecurityService that can determine which roles a user has. The issue i'm having is how to do this the 'right' way. Right now, when you first land on a page, it does not appear as though there is a way to invoke an actionbean method. This seems to happen only if you submit the page or if you use a url that is bound to the actionbean (i.e. /MyActionBean.action). It seems as though the ActionBean does not really come into scope until that happens. Is there away to make an actionbean come into scope when a page is first loaded? Is there away to bind an actionbean to a stripes layout component such that, in the case described above, that action bean will always be available to the web application (given that the header is always displayed)? If i can do that, i figure i would have what i need to solve the problem. Are there other ways anyone can recommend to solve this problem? thanks, Mike -- The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
