Dynamic menu in tree structure in JSP

Hi,
1) I need to display a dynamic menu in JSP. The menu depends on the values received from database. I need to show the items in the structure of tree (like parents, child relation). The tree can have multiple levels (the parent can have children & these children too can have children). This tree structure would be on left side of the screen.
I would like to use some custom tags rather than javascript. Can somebody post the custom tags or some samples?
2) Also, once the user selects different items from menu, different action classes should be called. And accordingly, the right side of the screen will show different data.
So, there should be any way to set different action classes for the menu items. Please post any samples or helpful links.

Please help with dynamic menu creation needs to have 5 levels

Hi,
I have run into a Coldfusion problem that I was hoping you
could help me with.
What I am trying to solve is the dynamic creation of at least
5 levels of categories for a menu built with Coldfusion, and if
possible an infinite amount of levels.
Each of these also if it is at the end of the tree will have
to have products under it aswell the category will only show up if
there is products under it.
To acomplish this I have created a database table called
"Categories" which contains the fields shown in the linked
spreadsheet. I am using the "cat_parent" to hold the value of the
parent of the current record. When the parent is a top level menu
item I have assigned this a cat_parent id of "0". Using this method
I am able to do a self join on the table (where "cat_parent" =
"cat_id") to extract the relationship between parent and child
records throughout the table. This works fine. And I have created
output for 5 levels of display.
There are 3 issues left that I could not work out.
- Firstly my coding method loops through each node of the
tree with one query to create each category of the menu. This means
one query per menu category and as the client could have up to 200
categories in the menu and I am concerned that the solution that I
have come up with is too processor intensive.
- Secondly the way that I have created the category menu is
hard coding in the levels needed so there is only 5 not an infinite
amount which would be preferable but is not essential.
- Finally I could not work out how to not create "parents" in
the tree if there is no products for the end child category.
Meaning that if there is for example a category > subcategory
> subsubcategory but there is no products associated with the
end category - "subsubsubcategory" then it's parent and so on will
not display until one of them has products.
Here
is a link to a zip file that includes: the cfc that contains
the query function (categories.cfc), the page that is creating the
categories menu (lefnav.cfm), a simple cfc that contains a products
query just for testing (products.cfc) along with a spreadsheet of
the Categories table's fields.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks for any time and help you can give me on this

This should at least get you started in the right direction.

Automatic menu tree for app pages

Is there a way to generate an automatic menu tree for all the pages in an application?
The index Carl's app has at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:5 seems to be manually maintained. Add a page to the app, add it to that list.
It would be really nice to have a way to have a TOC (Table of Contents) or Index page for an app that would automatically pick up any new/updated/deleted pages in an application and keep the menu tree current.
I guess this goes back to the (already discussed) request to expose views into the Apex metadata tables that we could use to build pages like these. It could take the same approach as the handful of views that are already there (htmldb_collections, htmldb_application_files, etc) i.e. the view already puts in a predicate to restrict the data returned to the currently logged in workspace/sgid.
Thanks.

"405764", yes, I agree that I need to tell Apex how the pages are related, that's kind of my point. There is no place the current version to indicate this to the App Builder (and neither are the relevant metadata tables/views exposed).
I guess the best way (at this time) is to maintain the intra-page relationships in my own little metadata table and build a hierarchical menu tree/page off of it.
But given how easy everything else is in Apex, this seems like a omission, that's all!
Similar to how Version 2.2 added the Access Control feature where it maintains some security related data in a set of tables and uses that to build a dynamic security framework, it could maintain these intra-page relationships in a set of tables and give us a out-of-the-box hierarchical menu tree.
Thanks.

New page not being opened in new window when using a dynamic menu

I have read an earlier post about this but I didn't really see a solution I could implement there. I have a dynamic menu, and I want one item on it to open a new frame. Here is the module code from the template.
{module_menu, version="2", menuId="901683", moduleTemplateGroup="Default"}
It is the main template menu from the Tribeca site template.
I have tried inserting (_blank) into the appropriate target frame, and still it opens in the same window. I gathered from the previous post that it was a version issue, but as you can see, the code says "version 2"... or am I mis-reading that?
I couldn't find where to make changes. The previous post suggested I look for the CSS on the home template, but I am not using a home template.
Any thoughts?
Chuck

Thanks Liam, it worked. I need a clarification if you can... I don't need all the items in the menu to open in a new window, so under the menu itself, under the individual items, I would set the target frame to "_self" for the items I need to remain in the same window? Or is it an all or none thing?
I really have appreciated the help you've given me.

Can you create a javascript dynamic menu based on security data in oracleDB

I am looking for a dynamic javascript menu that is generated based on the user role... basically i get the user role from ldap and then I have a Security table in oracle data base that has the permission info and i want to generate my dynamic menu based on the data in the database table.... the table has the following columns
private String userId;
private String security_level; // page level , field level
private String permission; //CRUD
private String permissionType; //ALLOW, DENY

Hello Suzie,
It is possible but you have "many" ways to do it, since what will happen is the javascript will be generated by an application.
Are you developing a J2EE application? with or without JSF?
The best way will be to Google to find a good Javascript menu library, and adapt the generation of it based on the content of your database.

2. in wat order are the managedbeans created ?
is it in order they apprear in faces-config file or in order they are used in the jsp page?
3: is it possible that u click on a menuTab item and it displays its particular menubar's items while staying on the same page? or
u click on a menubar item and it displays its particular dropdowns while staying on the same page?
is it posible wid ADF or javascript shud b used?

Hi,
looking at code it seems that you are adding textview and inputfield. please check in debugging if the correct context node/attribute is being created and you are providing its reference while adding UI elements.

View Menu Tree Report?

Seems like there used to be a concurrent manager request you could run to print all the submenu and functions in a menu tree. Is that still around? Can't seem to find it. The menu tree viewer shows what I am after, but does not have a print option.

Just FYI, I found the reports. They are in the Function Security Menu Reports request set in the System Administrator responsibility. They do not, however, include reports for responsibilities associated with Oracle Web Applications, which is what I was after. If anyone knows about some reports for the web apps (Self Service), I would love to hear about them.

How to create a table less structure with dynamic menu module

Hi guys,
I am using dynamic menu module for creating a main menu for http://firstsite08.businesscatalyst.com/
but it is generating table structure. What changes to do i had to make to generate a table less structure from dynamic menu module.

Hi Andy,
When you create a Menu, the option dropdown for the menu has Default, but under that you will see HTML CSS Only option which creates a ul li structure.
For the Menu Module options you can find more information from the knowledgebase: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/134/bc_1345.html?bc-partner#main_Menu_Modules
If you would like to use the version 2 menu module you can find a bit of a guide I wrote here: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1903

Adding a dynamic menu to a template

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong please?
I have created a menu, I want to add it to a template (this template already has a dynamic menu which I added to it by the way, in case it's important to the answer).
I have selected the Template and have it ready to edit or do whatever next to it.
I thought the next step was to select "add modules to Template" and then I would get a panel appear on th right hand side with further options to select the menu I want and then go through the insert proceedure.
But nothing happens when I click on "add modules to Template".
I already have one menu on the page, I've done it once already, but for some reason it's not working any more. Or have I just completely forgotten what the correct steps are.
Yes I have researched and googled but I keep getting answers that just tell me how to create a menu or modify a template, or something other than what I need to know.
Cheers for any help.
Grant

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. So now it's working.
So if you experience the same problem, here's what happened and how I resolved the problem.
I closed the browser, started up again and tried adding a menu to a page using "Add modules to a web page" - it worked, but then BC still wouldn't let me have access to the "Add modules to Templates" button a second time when I tried it with the template - just wouldn't work. So, I shut the browser again but this time loaded the template and tried adding the the module to the template using the button, and it worked.
So I'm guessing that this is a bug that needs to be sorted Adobe?

Styling a dynamic menu using CSS

Hi everyone, hope someone can help.
I have spent a few hours starting to style a new site and i am struggling with the dynamic menu
http://www.innovas.co.uk/ourclients.htm
what i would like it to do is have a gap in between each of the main menu items so that its not one consistent block of grey background colour. I have tried isolating the style for tr. and adding a border-padding of 1px with a color white, but this adds the border to all table rows. i just need a way of styling a 1px white border into the menu item layout.
some help would be hugely appreciated
thanks in advance

Hello!
The best way to approach this would be to use Dynamic Menu v2. It will save you a lot of hassle.
