You could create your own bean with nested menuitems,
class MenuItem {
...
List getItems() {
return items;
}
...
void addMenuItem(MenuItem item) {
this.items.add(item);
}
//and so on
}
You can use <bean /> in tiles config, tiles controller or even a
servlet that places the menu in the application context (no tiles).
The tiles config gets a but uglier (if you go that route) , but jsps
come out cleaner..
