Look at "5.2.2 One Controller - Multiple Views" in http://www2.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/tilesAdvancedFeatures.pdf This allows you to choose layouts on the fly. This can also be done by using just an org.apache.struts.tiles.Controller.

My problem is that I can't seem to find a way (generic or otherwise) to retrieve a handle to those menu objects to toggle the visibility after the user logs in and the features that he/she are allowed to use are activated. I thought about pulling them out of tiles all together, however, I then lose the benefits of tiles and the placement of these pages and would have to think about how to do this. The place we would do this is in a request listener class we have that currently, amongst other things, creates the entire menu system for the user. Basically, we iterate over all the modules constructing menus for each one and then we place each menu in the appropriate section. But, since the submenu items are created via Tiles, we don't have a handle to the menu items... Any ideas? -adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
