JSP Navigation Systems As you might already know, I am a committer on the Struts Menu project at SourceForge. Struts Menu is basically just a JSP Tag Library that allows you to configure a navigation system for your webapp from an XML file. Here is a demo. Here are similar menu tag libraries I found:

I also remember seeing one on weblogs.java.net, but their search feature sucks and I can't seem to find it (could be operator error).

Please let me know of any others you know of - or menus you'd like to see incorporated into Struts Menu. The current CVS version (module == navigator) allows for specifying the Menu attributes in XML and the HTML for the menu using Velocity templates (as well as some built-in displayers). Personally, I'm thinking of adding a couple from WebFX: XTree and XMenu. With the new Velocity support, it should be simple to add these. If it's possible with HTML, JavaScript and CSS - it's possible with Struts Menu! Posted in Java at Oct 15 2003, 05:39:15 AM MDT 4 Comments

The struts menu is really superb!.. I tried to run it with my tomcat install & had no problems !.. I am planning to use it for a school project. Do you know such tag libs to do table sorting?

The displaytag is excellent for sorting and paging tables. We've even got a demo page for you to checkout all its features.

OK, it?s been 2 years since the last update on this page. So what will be the best menu tag from a Struts app in 2006? Enquiring proggers want to know.
