[struts-menu] Custom attributes in menu-config.xml

[Tim Morrow 2 (sent by Nabble.com)]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to add a custom attribute to a Menu or Item element in the XML to make it available to a velocity template for rendering the menu.  Is this possible?  It seems that the menu-config xml can be parsed, but there is no way to access the added attribute.

I saw a previous post on editing the source for MenuBase to add a setter/getter for that new attribute.  As an alternative to that I was thinking that if MenuBase implemented Map and all attributes were available via get() then I could access custom attributes in velocity via  ${menu.myAttr}.    Is this even possible with the XML parser, or do I need to add each custom attribute as a getter/setter.

Any hints would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Tim
