I am not using putList myself but if you looking to dynamically construct complex tiles have you looked into UrlController? http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/tiles/UrlControll er.html

Hi, I am in the process of building a Struts/Tiles application that needs to be able to dynamically construct menu lists when the user logs in. For instance a user may belong to the base user role, therefore a single tab should be displayed but he could also belong to an admin role, therefore 2 tabs need to be displayed. Is there a way of building the <putList name="tabList"> <item value="Doc Home" link="/index.jsp" /> . . . . . </putList> dynamically? All the documentation I have found so far seems to suggest that all these lists need to be predefined, however I want to be able to retrieve the item's from a database within a Struts action as the number of combinations of list items could run into the hundreds.
