layoutUnit navigation using programmatic menu.

[half_duplex]

Hi, I'm trying to update a central layoutUnit based on menu items created programmatically.

I don't think it's possible but very well could be wrong, any ideas?

Code: Select all

			<!-- navigation panel -->
		    <p:layoutUnit position="west" resizable="false" size="216">
		    	<ui:include src="./includes/navigationMenu.xhtml" />
		    </p:layoutUnit>  
		  	
		  	<!-- content panel -->
		    <p:layoutUnit position="center">
		    	<ui:include src="/views/#{navigationBean.currentPage}.xhtml" />	    	
		    </p:layoutUnit>  

Code: Select all

private String currentPage; //holds identifier of current content panel

Code: Select all

item= new MenuItem();
item.setValue("menu item");
item.setUrl("/faces/views/somePage.xhtml");
item.setIcon("ui-icon ui-icon-document");
subMenu.getChildren().add(item);

thanks!!
