Maybe it is not the best solution, but I would use some javascript to
achieve what you need. You could invoke a javascript function in the
page body onload attribute to make the browser navigate to a section.
Something that could look like this:
[CODE]
<%
String sectionId = "currentSectionIdHere"; // you could retrieve it
from the request or use the variableResolver to retrieve the value
from your bean
%>
<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function goToSection()
{
window.location.href = '#<%=sectionId%>';
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body onload="goToSection()">
[/CODE]
I've made a little test and it works for me. I would have the value
for the current section in your backing bean and load the value in the
beginning of the jsp (String sectionId). Hope this helps,
Bruno
