Generating a site map via struts-menu

Rate this Message:
Hi all,
I use struts-menu in my web application to generate a tab menu and a site menu. All is working like a charm here. Now, I would like to use struts-menu to generate a site map for me. I thought all the information is in the menu-config.xml already. So wouldn't it be handy to reuse this information? However, I have arrived at a dead end. Let me explain... The set up of my menu-config.xml is somewhat like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <MenuConfig> <Displayers>...</Displayers> <Menus> <Menu name="PublicMenu"> <Item name="TabbedMenu1" title="Home" location="/home.jsp" description="HomeMenu"/> <Item name="TabbedMenu2" title="About" location="/about.jsp" description="AboutMenu"/> </Menu> <Menu name="HomeMenu"> <Item name="Something" title="Whatever" location="#"/> </Menu> <Menu name="AboutMenu"> <Item name="Something" title="Whatever" location="#"/> </Menu> </Menus> </MenuConfig> I know that there will always be a "PublicMenu" in my setup, but the other menus might change over time. I would like to use the description parameter to define jumps into the other menus, but I cannot seem to get this working. Is there any easy way to change the current menu to a different one within the Velocity code only relying on the name string? (e.g. what would I have to write in Velocity or Freemarker to reference the first item in "AboutMenu" when my displayMenu was called via "PublicMenu"?) Any help with this is much appreciated! Thanks, Jonathan |

You should be able to get the MenuRepository from the ServletContext
and iterate over the menus to produce what you're looking for. Here's some example code that may help: http://demo.raibledesigns.com/struts-menu/dynamicMenu.jsp Matt On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 4:39 AM, JMllr <jonny.mllr@...> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I use struts-menu in my web application to generate a tab menu and a site > menu.

OK, I have embedded the code as suggested.
Well, I have kept it simple and directly inserted the java code into the JSP page. But when I debug the code, the repository variable stays NULL, which then results in an error. I have "googled" this problem. And foremost solution for this seemed to be adding the common-lang into the class path. However, I already have my common-lang.2.3.jar in the /WEB-INF/lib/ folder and this still keeps happening. So I must be missing something and I'm not quite sure what. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jonathan

Does Struts Menu work for you? If it does, then this code should work.
How do you have it configured to load? Listener, plugin, etc?

Thanks a mil again for the quick reply, Matt!
Hm, that is why I'm a bit stuck. I have configured it in the web.xml as a listener: <listener> <listener-class>net.sf.navigator.menu.MenuContextListener</listener-class> </listener> The struts-menu works perfectly. I have a top bar navigation as well as a site tab navigation. For the existing menu I used Velocity. No problem there. My JSP for the site map looks like this: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <%@ include file="/includes/decorator_includes.inc" %> <%@ page import="java.util.Map, javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.Result, net.sf.navigator.menu.MenuComponent, net.sf.navigator.menu.MenuRepository"%> [... some HTML ...] <% MenuRepository repository = new MenuRepository(); // Get the repository from the application scope - and copy the // DisplayerMappings from it. MenuRepository defaultRepository = (MenuRepository) application.getAttribute(MenuRepository.MENU_REPOSITORY_KEY); repository.setDisplayers(defaultRepository.getDisplayers()); [... rest of the java and HTML code ...] But if I debug the code of the site map JSP, the "defaultRepository" variable stays NULL. And so the repository is never filled. I think I'm missing something here. In the stuts-menu.war this is defined via struts-config.xml as a plugin, right? Could that be the problem with my setup? Thanks, Jonathan

This should work. You might try downloading the struts-menu.war
example app and deploying it on your machine to see if this renders correctly on your container.
