Struts Tiles Question

[BH...@powersystems.rockwell.com]

All,

I am using Struts Tiles to layout my site.  I have a vboxmenu design which
contains 4 menu levels:

<definition name="doc.menu.main" path="/common/jsp/layout/vboxLayout.jsp" >
  <putList name="list" >
    <add value="common.menu.home" />
    <add value="common.menu.authenticated"/>
    <add value="common.menu.admin" />
    <add value="common.menu.logout" />
  </putList>
</definition>

I am wanting to control when the Authenticated menu and the Admin Menu are
displayed.  For example, only display the admin menu if the user is in the
Admin Role.  I know that the taglib tld has a role attribute, but the dtd
for tiles-def does not.  Has anyone created anything simular with tiles?

As far as I'm aware, there's no way to do that at the tiles level. You 
could either wrap the <add/> tags in your JSP with <logic:present role=... 
or similar, or make the test in the JSP for the individual tiles, which may 
be cleaner.
