I have read your post and immediately wondered a couple of things, which might make it easier to help you;
How are the menus generated by the server? Are you wrapping an existing JSP-site, or what kind of existing infratructure do you have? There are several Tapestry components that use fairly fancy menus or implement sitemaps (Though I haven't tried them myself), but they generally use Javascript and either let you define the menus and which pages, etc. items refer to in a separate file, or they some other way :) I'm think that maybe you're better off trying to make your own menu system anyway: Also, if the administration in only realted to items in hibernate databases, you might want to try out the trails framework, which generates edit,search and list pages with tables and links for table relations, including acegi security and search. Alltough you have to write a correct POJO class for each existing table in the database. Cheers, PS On 6/1/06, Carl Pelletier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I'm looking for advise, tips or idea here. I'm beginning the development of a site in Tapestry 4.0 and I don't know how to implement all my levels of menu without creating many border page. What I'm trying to do is implementing component that will render my menu. The problem I have, is that all example I saw like the library example and others just have one level of menu. Us, we got 3. Each page include all the menu and should Highlight the corresponding one when you are in the good section, in the good subsection and in the good page. All menu are genereted server side so no need for javascript. The final sites will have many pages, like ~50 to 75 so we don't want to duplicate all the html code of each level menu to display the good menu. For now, The only way I saw I can do this is by making a border level3 wich include a border level2 wich include a border level1. The problem with that is that I need to have a border level 3 for each item in the level2 and so one... Don't forget that each item in the menu will be secure, so a logued user will see somes items of all menus but not necessary all items. this site is a admin site and will be bind with Hibernate. I don't use Spring, structs or anything like that... I joint a picture of the design for help. If you can give me some tips, some idea or best pratice on that, It's will be very appreciate.
