Thanks Matt. But I have created MENU_REPOSITORY as follows:
Please be patient, it is a little long email with the code snippets.
//Call SP, get roles and prepare list of roles.
ArrayList userMenus = new ArrayList();
userMenus.add("TabbedUserSearch");
userMenus.add("TabbedAdvSearch");
userMenus.add("TabbedLogoff");
userMenus.add("TabbedHelp");
session.setAttribute(WebConstants.USER_MENUS, userMenus);
//End of preparing roles.
//Create Menu Repository, stuff it and keep it in session scope.
MenuRepository newMenuRep = new MenuRepository();
MenuRepository mrp = (MenuRepository)
servlet.getServletContext().getAttribute(MenuRepository.MENU_REPOSITORY_KEY)
;
logDebug.debug("UserInitializationAction: Menu - LoadParam: " +
mrp.getLoadParam() );
logDebug.debug("UserInitializationAction: Menu - Name: " +
mrp.getName() );
newMenuRep.addMenuDisplayerMapping(
mrp.getMenuDisplayerMapping("DropDown") );
newMenuRep.addMenuDisplayerMapping(
mrp.getMenuDisplayerMapping("Simple") );
newMenuRep.addMenuDisplayerMapping(
mrp.getMenuDisplayerMapping("CoolMenu") );
newMenuRep.addMenuDisplayerMapping(
mrp.getMenuDisplayerMapping("CoolMenu4") );
newMenuRep.addMenuDisplayerMapping(
mrp.getMenuDisplayerMapping("MenuForm") );
newMenuRep.addMenuDisplayerMapping(
mrp.getMenuDisplayerMapping("ListMenu") );
newMenuRep.addMenuDisplayerMapping(
mrp.getMenuDisplayerMapping("TabbedMenu") );
newMenuRep.addMenuDisplayerMapping(
mrp.getMenuDisplayerMapping("Velocity") );
Set menuNames = mrp.getMenuNames();
for( int k = 0; k < userMenus.size(); k++ ) {
String roleName = (String) userMenus.get(k);
Iterator iter = menuNames.iterator();
while( iter.hasNext() ) {
String menuName = (String) iter.next();
if( roleName.equalsIgnoreCase(menuName) ) {
newMenuRep.addMenu( mrp.getMenu(menuName) );
logDebug.debug("UserInitializationAction: MenuNames: " +
menuName );
}
}
}
session.setAttribute(MenuRepository.MENU_REPOSITORY_KEY, newMenuRep);
//End of Menu Repository creation.
I did not find a way to get displayers from existing (default)
Menu_Repository at application scope.
That's why I had to hard code all displayers names and add them to new
Menu_Repository like:
newMenuRep.addMenuDisplayerMapping(
mrp.getMenuDisplayerMapping("TabbedMenu") );
But, even though I created Menu_Repository like this, I had to check for
user Menus in my JSP like:
<bean:define id="userMenus" name="<%=WebConstants.USER_MENUS%>"
type="java.util.ArrayList"/>
<HR>
<menu:useMenuDisplayer name="TabbedMenu"
bundle="org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE">
<% for( int i = 0; i < userMenus.size(); i++ ) {
String menu = (String) userMenus.get(i);
%>
<menu:displayMenu name="<%=menu%>"/>
<% }
%>
</menu:useMenuDisplayer>
Am I missing anything? I thought that if I create Menu_Repository and keep
it at session scope,
<menu:useMenuDisplayer> tag will check against this Menu_Repository for all
<menu:displayMenu> tags
and display only menus that are present in Menu_Repository at session scope.
