Hi Oscar,
That was a helpful idea, thanks! But I still think AppFuse should be able to
handle this scenario with just standard configurations in menu-config.xml. I
think ROLE_ANONYMOUS should work the same way ROLE_USER and ROLE_ADMIN do in
menu-config.xml to prevent hacking in menu.jsp but...
Let me describe how I implemented it in case someone else needs it or want
to point me a better approach:
1. I added a method to class UserUtil named isAdmin which returns true it
the logged user has the ROLE_ADMIN role;
2. In menu.jsp I added a call to this method and conditions to present
certain menu items only if isAdmin if false, like the following example:
<%
boolean isAdmin = com.myproject.util.UserUtil.isAdmin();
if (!isAdmin) {
%>
<menu:displayMenu name="ProductMenu"/>
<menu:displayMenu name="ShoppingCart"/>
<%
}
%>
After that it worked fine.
