Thank you for reply. In my case menu is completely dynamic and i should build it in a dynamic manner. what i will do is : -in a session scope bean create a property which is a list of navigationMenuItem and in menu page, i should bind this property to my PanelNavigation2 . I will report back in case of success or failure.
