Re: Struts-menu + roles

Are users roles changing or the "roles" attribute on <Menu> and <Item>?

Currently, there's no way to easily change the "roles" attribute on 
each item specified.  You'd have to grab the MenuRepository object from 
the servlet context and loop through each menu/item to change them.

I don't think I fully understand what you're trying to do and why 
Struts Menu is not working for you.
