Hi Raj,

I think you are looking for Tiles framework. Follow this link for a sample.

Hi Vikash Anand,

Thank you for your reply. But I am looking for a dynamic menu (website navigation based on user role) constructed from database.

Finally I found the solution, thanks to Matt. Do the following to use struts menu with struts 2 (it is the same from user guide).

1. Added the follwoing in web.xml
<listener>
<listener-class>net.sf.navigator.menu.MenuContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>

2. Add the menu-config.xml in to WEB-INF.

3. Copy any jsp code from the project (the one you intended to use perhaps) into your jsp.

Then it will give you the following error:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: The menu repository could not be found.

This is the trick that is missing in user guide.

Add all the libraries from struts-menu-2.4.3\WEB-INF\lib

Thats it. Have fun.

Regards
Raj
