> page is the top level page from which you want to start drawing the menu
OK, then how can I instantiate an object instance of the page I want to start with? > Why use the drawChildren method from the tag class? Wouldn't it be easier for you to write your own tag CustomSimpleNavigationTag? Haven't gone through the taglib tutorial yet, but yes, the code should be moved to a .class or .jar or tag. For me, scriptlets are easy to work with. I figure I can always move the java out of the JSP later when things work how I want. I want to define an array, or table, or some data structure, containing roles required for resources & have SimpleNavigation check this list as it iterates to see if it should output particular links or not. I'm talking about Tomcat Realm Roles, not Magnolia Security Roles. > Hope you found it helpfull Yes, but still need instances of 'page' and 'JspWriter'. The J2EE methodologies are beginning to sink in. The Greekness expounded by the developers looks less and less Greek. I've dropped classes into JSP's before and encountered issues ith static methods. Now I know that doing so makes them into inner classes of the JSP class, and inner classes can't have static methods. This sheds some light on some old questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://www.magnolia.info/en/magnolia/developer.html ----------------------------------------------------------------
