Struts Menu 2.2 Released! View changelog or download. New features in this release include a EL tag that allows JSTL's EL expressions in all attributes, as well as the ability to use Struts Menu outside of a Struts application. I also took the time to add a database-driven example to the sample app.

For the database-driven menu (as well as the app I'm writing for Spring Live) - I'm using HSQL. I never even touched the sucker before last week and I gotta say - damn it's easy. Just drop the JAR into WEB-INF/lib and when you make a database connection - it'll create the database on-the-fly. Even better, if you're using Hibernate, you can set a property (hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create) and it'll create your tables on-the-fly too. Cool stuff - HSQL rocks for sample apps. I don't know if it's production worthy - but I certainly like what I've seen so far. Posted in Java at Mar 30 2004, 07:57:50 PM MST Add a Comment
