JavaServer Pages, 3rd Edition

Name

<ora:menuItem>

Synopsis

The <ora:menuItem> action writes its body contents to the response. If the specified page is the currently requested page, the content is used as is; otherwise it’s embedded in an HTML link element (<a>), using the specified page as the link target and the body contents as the link text. The page value is converted to a server-relative path and URL rewritten, if needed. The intended use for this action is in navigation bars to generate links for all page menu items except for the current page.

Syntax

<ora:menuItem page="pageOrContextRelativePath">
  Menu text for the page
</ora:menuItem>
