Dynamic page assembly - role based. Help!

Hi

We are evaluating strutscx for our web application framework and are
extremely impressed by the framework and flexibility offered. 

However, there are some problems we are facing specific to our
application:

We have a tiered adminstration web-application. A user logs in and is
presented menu-items based on his role.

1) How does strutsCX handle permission-based UI construction.

2) Navigation Menu - we have a menu bar residing on the left-hand side
of the page. This needs to be constructed only once    after user login,
however this menu needs to be displayed for all the pages during a user
session.

   We want to avoid having to reconstruct the navigation menu bar for
each request. Presently, we are planning to add the Navigation Menu JDOM
structure to the session and apply xsl to both the VOs and Session data.

 

Any suggestion?
