Matt: The links below don't seem to do any role stuff that I can find. BTW: there are some bugs in the dhtmlDropdown.jsp with IE6. Maybe I am reading the code incorrectly but the DropDown displayer never calls isAllowed or works with an object that does The coolmenu displayer does makes calls although it's structure is a tad different than the drop down. I have started doing the analysis of where to put the checks to enable the role/permission implementation. The tree menu link is really interesting. The guy and his bud's are really good. BTW: I reworked the cookies and got the menu's to act consistently from page to page.

It should already be built into the following Displayers using the "roles" attribute on a menu or item. http://raibledesigns.com/struts-menu/dhtmlDropdown.jsp http://raibledesigns.com/struts-menu/dhtmlExpandable.jsp http://raibledesigns.com/struts-menu/coolmenu4.jsp For saving a menu's expanded location - you might want to look at the following Tree menu. I hope to add support for this type of menu in the coming weeks. http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/xtree/demo.html HTH, Matt -----Original Message----- From: Edgar Dollin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 6:04 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: StrutsMenu Would it be simple to implement roles and permissions on the DropDownDisplayer? I have started to look at it and am not sure of all the touch points. BTW: my solution for restoring a menu position on a target page with the same menu as the prior page is sub-optimal. The only solution I could come up with saved menu down and up movements and created expiring cookies on menu selection. Of course if you do any other action the menu doesn't redrop. If you are using contexts, the cookies are discarded across the change of context. It looks like the only way to really make menu position controllable is to do some server side stuff. An interesting project. Thanks for your help. Edgar
