Nice. I had actually ordered that book this morning before even posting my
question. I was hoping for a solution before the book gets here however.
In my case i'm not really trying to build a menu, but rather tabs. To do
that, i feel i need a way to be able to reference an actionbean from the
layout component that is always visible and when pages are loaded rather
than submitted. That way i can either call a method on the actionbean to
determine if the current user is entitled or not to view certain areas of
the page.
Not quite sure yet how to do it.
