Right now there is no security-specific tag or attribute. What you can
do now is either:

* surround each tab with Struts/JSTL conditional tags, or
* create a tag/servlet that spits out only the tags that are
appropriate for current component state (this would have to be my job,
actually).

For example, this is how the Tigris-style tabs can be defined
(copy/paste style):

=== cut here ===
  <table class="tabs" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>

      <%-- First tab is active --%>
      <c:if test='${empty currentTab || currentTab == "tab1"}'>
        <table class="tigristabs" border="0" cellspacing="0">
          <tr>
            <th><jc:link event="tab1event" value="Tab1" /></th>
            <td><jc:link event="tab2event" value="Tab2" /></td>
          </tr>
        </table>
      </c:if>

      <%-- Second tab is active --%>
      <c:if test='${currentTab == "tab2"}'>
        <table class="tigristabs" border="0" cellspacing="0">
          <tr>
            <td><jc:link event="tab1event">Tab1</jc:link></td>
            <th><jc:link event="tab2event">Tab2</jc:link></th>
          </tr>
        </table>
      </c:if>
    </tr>
  </table>
=== cut here ===

You can put whatever you want into JSTL condition. The tab component
that I have now is more of a template that you can adjust for your
content and design, than a parameterizable tag. If you interested, see
this short intro: http://www.jroller.com/page/javadujour/20060110

But nothing prevents me from putting this markup inside a Tab tag. I
think I will do that, and I will add "role" attribute as well, just
like you have in Struts Menu. Or do you want to have it in a different
way? I am all ears :-)

I am doing my releases step by step, hopefully it won't take long for
1.0 version ;-) Thanks for heads up!

Michael.
