In my app I ended up creating a plugin that would use digester to read an xml file (navigation-config.xml) and create objects describing my navigation links (most of which are displayed in a js tree widget over in the left frame).
I didnt relate them directly to actions, but in hindsight I could have done that instead of directly having the urls in navigation-config. By seperating it out into a seperate xml file you have much more flexibility than if you try doing it from struts config - and of course you can design it so that it references mappings that are in struts config. -----Original Message----- From: Haytham Samad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 3 June 2003 21:00 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Posted Again: Build Navigation based on action mapping Sorry for reposting but wanted to get some feedback on this as I am sure everyone here had to deal with this at some point. I am trying to find a way to have navigation built based on the struts-config.xml's action mappings. Since all my use cases are enabled through action listed under action mapping, this seemed like a good place to start. Anyone done this before or has other robust ideas to build a navigation that can update as my site's features change? Thanks, Haytham Below is my first posting: I am trying to build a navigation component that basically runs of the struts config file's action mappings. Anyone ever done this before or has ideas on ways to build navigation from the struts config xml file? I would like it to dynamically update with changes to my site's navaigation/flow and use the role information included with the mappings. Thanks.
