That is exactly what I mean.

It sounds like you are building in the necessary support. I just 
got a notice from SourceForge that you put out a new version 
so I will check it out. We were looking for a menu and came 
across Struts Menu. The biggest drawback was that we need 
to set menu options based on roles. The first thing that came 
to mind was to filter menu to choices those that the current user 
is authorized to. In our case this is determined by Tomcat. 

I have not looked at how Tomcat derives authority yet, but 
hopefully there is an API that you can pass a URL and get 
back a Yea or Nay. I doubt it is that simple, but if it is it would 
allow authority to be centralized.
