[Tiles] Conditional menu items. Help !!!!
Hi.
I'am using tiles from struts 1.1b1 and I need to add some menu items only for specific users.
Then my action forward take this sample path = forward.common.users.home
this is a define that use some default menu, now for example, some special users use this same menu, in fact the hole template, but with only a few more items in the menu.
Supose I have some bean loeded in the action that tells me if the agregate menu items need to be displayed.
Any idea.
Thanks in advance.
LFung.

There are samples in tiles-documentation war files, check how dynamic
portal works. Also, the following document can help:

Thanks a lot Cedric.
I think the best solution is 3. Do you have some Controller Sample code,
I'am never have been worked with it.
Any way thanks for your reply.

Hello,
There is several solutions to have different menu for different users
or profile.
You need to have some logic that select or build the menu according to
the current user profile.
Solution 1:
* Create an action with one forward for each possible menu. The
action checks the user profile, and call forward to appropriate menu.
* Create one tiles definition for each possible menu
* Associate forwards to definitions
* Call the action each time you need to render the menu
Solution 2:
* Create one action that build dynamically the menu definition to be
rendered
* Action push the definition in request session (see examples in
tiles-doc/test)
* Action do its forward, which will use the pushed definition
Solution 3:
* Associate a "controller" to your menu definition
* This controller build/modify the list of menu item
Hope this help,
Cedric
