Struts Menu 2.0 Released! This release is a significant refactoring of the 1.x codebase. The source and site is now built using Maven. Menus can now be defined using Velocity templates and support has been added for looking up dynamic values. This means that if you have ${variableName} in your menu-config.xml (in a link), the tag library will look in all scopes for a variable with the name "variableName". The example app has been updated to improve documentation.

IMO, the Velocity templates is huge because it means "if it's possible with HTML" - it's possible with Struts Menu.

Changes (from http://struts-menu.sourceforge.net/changes-report.html):

- Renamed package structure to net.sf.navigator.
- Added support for using Struts' actions and forwards for links in menu-config.xml.
- Added support for using dynamic variables in menu-config.xml.
- Updated build process to use Maven for building/deploying.
- Refactored to use Velocity and allow dynamic variable substitution.

You can read the nitty-gritty details about the Velocity enhancements, check out the sample app or download this tag library for yourself. Posted in Java at Dec 01 2003, 04:03:09 AM MST Add a Comment
