Well, if you draw the menu down the left rail, then it doesn't matter 
how shallow or deep it goes (whether directories are "folded" or 
"unfolded") -- the content area will remain in the same position (versus 
a horizontal menu across the top).

Also, if you use frames, clicks on the parent nodes could cause only a 
reload of the tree menu frame (showing and hiding directory contents), 
while clicks on the child nodes (pages) could cause a reload of the 
content area frame. This would save bandwidth versus a design that 
causes the whole page to reload for every click. But, even an entire 
page refresh can be OK depending on bandwidth and page size. I will say 
though that if you ever go to HTTPS protocol, using frames becomes more 
appealing, as even smaller pages can take a while to load because of all 
the encryption overhead. I have noticed some bill-paying sites using 
this technique lately -- the request protocol is HTTPS but only the 
center content frame is ever reloaded. Clicking stuff causes much less 
torture for the dialup user.

Perhaps the JSTL "x" tags could be of service as well in rendering your 
menu -- they provide XSL functions, for example, and all kinds of cool 
stuff.
