I'm looking at the very same thing right now. Struts-menu (a seperate Struts helper package) takes care of all the javascript stuff.
It does have built in support for permissions based display, but I don't know if supports truly dynamic (i.e. defined in the database) menus - any ideas anyone?

Hi we are developing an application with struts and tiles, and we'd like one of our tiles to contain a menu that is rendered everytime the page is loaded. And the menus that the user can see are based on what permissions he has access to. So we were thinking of using Javascript to do the menu (only other way I know of is an applet). But we have a couple fundamental problems, #1 how to get the permissions from the session object into a javascript function, and how to get the menu data to the javascript functions, in the form of an xml file or otherwise. Has anyone else tackled something of the sort? Any help/expertise extremely appreciated. -David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************** Axios Email Confidentiality Footer Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.
