Thanks to both for the tip. I'll check the list, did not realize it existed. The struts-menu documentaton is sparse, but its such a neat tool.
After more tracing and trying out the same URL from the browser address bar, I think what is happening is that my security URL-PATTERN is "*.do". I'm trying to use container based authentication to handle all *.do URL's. When I add the query parm, it does not math that pattern anymore - I'm getting thrown back to the logon form.

What the behavior is may depend on which type of display you are using (e.g. CoolMenus, DropDown, etc.). As far as I know, it should work as you expect it. Can you verify that the URL works (like by typing it into the browser's address box)? Which kind of displayer are you using? Try looking at the generated javscript or html source to help troubleshoot.
