RE: Usage of PanelNavigation2

[Roland Oertig]

Hi Thomas, Oh yes.. clever.. that’s  an other way, it add more independency, thanks for the tip, I shall modify my code to give it a try. By the way I define the complete menus in a XML file and, out from there, I construct the complete Menu(s) dynamically. Doing so allows modifying the menu any time without having to touch my code and navigation rules. With the new feature of the ActionListener I can then, based on the menu-node and user access level, decide about the navigation, etc. to perform.   If some other fellow developers are interested in more details, please feel free to post for (the old way I’ve done it, but the modif as suggested by Thomas are easy to apply).   JAVAPOLIS N.B. from 12-16. DEC the Javapolis will be held in Antwerp (http://wiki.javapolis.com/confluence/display/JP05/Home). I would like to ask if some developers or users of MyFaces, participating to the conference, would be glad to meet each other for exchange of hints and tips, etc. Might be one who has already participated the last years has an idea, till now I was always at the JavaOne in SFO and there the breakfast was a good opportunity to meet before the sessions started. You know, in the evening developers are busy as they participates to the BOF’s.   Any interest or suggestions!   I wish all a nice weekend!   Cheers Roland   From: Thomas Spiegl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Freitag, 25.
