I'd rather use RepeatingView, together with a utility method for
adding the menu items. A ListView refreshes the menu on each render,
and your menu is rather static.
something like:
RepeatingView rv = new RepeatingView("menu");
addMenuItem(rv, "Name of menuitem", PageThatIsLinkedTo.class);
private void addMenuItem(RepeatingView rv, String labelText, Class<?
extends WebPage> page) {
BookmarkablePageLink link = new BookmarkablePageLink(rv.newChildId(), page);
link.add(new Label("label", labelText));
rv.add(link);
}
