RE: Remember menu node

[Naresh Chapani \(Sympatico\)]

Ted,

Thanks for your reply but I am still confused about how I can store
information about which node of my menu was expanded and which node was
contracted in a menuBean.  I am not using struts-menu.tld, do I need to use
it?

Thanks again.

With an web application, the only place we have to store state is the
request and the session, or some external device, like a database.

So for something like this, you would probably store the object that
represents the menu state in the client's session.

request.getSession().setAttribute(menuBean,menuBean);

and then look for it before displaying a menu

menuBean  = request.getSession().getAttribute(menuBean);
if (null==menuBean) menuBean = new MenuBean();

RE: Remember menu node

[Naresh Chapani \(Sympatico\)]

Ted,

Thanks for your reply.

After successful login, I forward it to logonAction class where I am setting
menuBeans.  I add menuBeans to a vector say menuItem.  After adding all
menuBeans to this vector, I am adding the vector to session using
request.getSession.setAttribute(menuItems, menuItem).  In my menu.jsp I am
using logic:present and logic:iterate tags and iterates through each
elements of this vector in my side menu and displaying 12 links and 2
expandable menu items in side menu.  When I click any of these expandable
menu items, it displays 4 links below it.  When I click any link below this
expandable menu item (or any of the 12 links), it displays content of the
page in body area and reloads side menu with both the expandable menu items
as contracted (as it was in the beginning).  Please advise me where I am
wrong.


Thanks again.
