The menu repository is stored in the application context.
Look at the plugin (i'm on struts 1.0 so load it through a startup servlet).
What you do on every page is use a tag library to invoke the appropriate
displayer which renders the menu.
What you do store in the session, or wherever is appropriate, is the
PermissionsAdapter.
I don't use the role based permissioning, but load a PermissionsAdapter for
each user, which contains the ids they have access to from the DB.
Look at the Permissions example at:
http://www.raibledesigns.com/struts-menu/index.jsp
The example code is available through:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/struts-menu/

How can I put menu into session? Which class to modify?
Recreate menu on each page isn't clever - it's always the same.
