I did not find anything internal for this. I did write a separate class
for this which automates navigation based on Struts actions. I am
thinking about releasing this Open Source. I call it NavObjects and it
allows you to create button navigation displays. I am still working on
JSP tags for this but you can implement the rendering of links with in a
JSP using a scriptlet.
xml navigation file looks something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<buttons>
<button-data level="root" name="Welcome" path="/Welcome"
roles="owner,store,engineer"/>
<button-data level="root" name="Switch Group" path="/SwitchCity"
roles="owner,engineer"/>
<button-data level="root" name="Group Maintenance"
path="/GroupMaintenance" roles="owner"/>
<button-data level="root" name="Inventory" path="/Inventory"
roles="owner,store,engineer"/>
<button-data level="root" name="Admin" path="/Admin" roles="admin"/>
<button-data level="root" name="Logon" path="/Logon" roles="any"/>
<button-data level="root" name="Logoff" path="/Logoff" roles="any"/>
<button-data level="/Admin" name="User Administration"
path="/AdminUsers" roles="admin"/>
<button-data level="/Admin" name="Owner Administration"
path="/AdminOwners" roles="admin"/>
<button-data level="/Admin" name="AdminUserEditSubmit"
path="/AdminUserEditSubmit" roles="admin" display="0"/>
<button-data level="/AdminUsers" name="User Edit"
path="/AdminUserEdit" roles="admin"/>
<button-data level="/SwitchCity" name="Switch City"
path="/SwitchCityAction" roles="owner,engineer" display="0"/>
<button-data level="/GroupMaintenance" name="Devices"
path="/Devices" roles="owner"/>
<button-data level="/Devices" name="DeviceEdit" path="/DeviceEdit"
roles="owner" display="0"/>
<button-data level="/Devices" name="DeviceEditSubmit"
path="/DeviceEditSubmit" roles="owner" display="0"/>
<button-data level="/Devices" name="DeviceEditAttribute"
path="/DeviceEditAttribute" roles="owner" display="0"/>
<button-data level="/Devices" name="DeviceEditAttributeSubmit"
path="/DeviceEditAttributeSubmit" roles="owner" display="0"/>
<button-data level="/Devices" name="DeviceAttributes"
path="/DeviceAttributes" roles="owner" display="0"/>
<button-data level="/Devices" name="DeviceAddAttributeAction"
path="/DeviceAddAttributeAction" roles="owner" display="0"/>
<button-data level="/Devices" name="DeviceRemoveAttributeAction"
path="/DeviceRemoveAttributeAction" roles="owner" display="0"/>
<button-data level="/Inventory" name="Status"
path="/InventoryStatus" roles="owner,store,engineer"/>
<button-data level="/Inventory" name="Add Device"
path="/InventoryAdd" roles="owner,store,engineer"/>
<button-data level="/Inventory" name="Edit Device"
path="/InventoryEdit" roles="owner,store,engineer"/>
<button-data level="/InventoryAdd" name="/InventoryAddDetails"
path="/InventoryAddDetails" roles="owner,store,engineer" display="0"/>
<button-data level="/InventoryAdd" name="/InventoryAddSubmit"
path="/InventoryAddSubmit" roles="owner,store,engineer" display="0"/>
</buttons>
Scriptlet:
<%
Navobjs navo = new Navobjs();
ArrayList buttons = navo.button_set(0, (String)
session.getAttribute("app_path"), false, (String)
session.getAttribute("role"));
%>
<table>
<%
Iterator iter = buttons.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext())
{
DynaBean bean = (DynaBean)iter.next();
%>
<tr>
<td width="5">
<%
if (bean.get(Navobjs.BD_HOT).equals("1"))
{
out.print("!");
}
if (bean.get(Navobjs.BD_WARM).equals("1"))
{
out.print("*");
}
%>
</td>
<td><a href=/Inventory<%=bean.get(Navobjs.BD_PATH)%>.do >
<%=bean.get(Navobjs.BD_NAME)%>
</a></td></tr>
<%
}
%>
</table>
----
Internally the system tracks the complete path taken to get to a
position within the site. It then also the highlighting of selected
buttons, and a warm state for buttons that were clicked to get to the
current position.
If you are looking for something like this I'd be happy to release the
jars so that you could see if it met your needs.

the navigation to the user where he is in for the present page like
mainpage>review>edit... or thing of that sort that can show the user

this. Can any one please help me regarding this.
