visual changes based on state

Just wondering how you all were implementing visual changes based on state.  Ex. when a menu button says "logon" before the person loggs on, and then says "logoff" after the person has logged on.  How are you doing this switching based on state?  In the action?  in the template? Or are you all using........SCRIPTLETS!!!! (Ayyyyyiiii!!!)

2. Deliver the current state to the presentation layer in the form of
JavaBeans that the Struts logic tags can test. <logic:present
name="logon"> ...
