jscookmenu and navigation menu items

[Murat Hazer]

Hi,

   i am using jscookmenu in my project, and i neither want to hard code navigation menu items into java classes nor JSF's. I want to carry to these navigation menu items to db or an xml file for easy manupilating. I thought that to do this i need to create a db row for each navigation menu item and also there should be a extra column in each row which points to the up navigation menu item. If i do this also i need to implement recursive funtions :( to build the menu by using these db rows. (this bean could be application or session scoped)
 
   I wanna ask you that is this idea acceptable or there is any other proven pattern to do something like this?

regards...
