Guess i misunderstood you the first time. For a layout as you described here i recommend the following: Hard code the top level menu items and either use swarm to hide the items or use the isVisible technique i told you about. use swarm to hide tabs (http://wicketstuff.org/wicketsecurity/tabs/) or copy the technique used there. For your third level, use a ListView or DataView, you can add links or if you want something really fancy panels to the items in the list, this way you don't have to know upfront which or how many reports you have.
You could use a ListView for your top level menu too but since those items are known up front there is not that much to gain by doing it that way.
