Description

A simple example would be expand/collapse navigation menu according to current
context (web-context): every action in this package belongs to the menu
navigation section offerSection, so this menu section should expanded,
presenting all suitable offer related submenu items:

Clients
Companies
Products
Offers
Create
Delete
List
...
Accounting
Settings

The menu would be realized via sitemesh decorator, evaluating the menuSection
parameter from stack and expanding corresponding submenu.

The third line of the following package def is the one I'd like to have
realized:

<package name="offer" extends="default" namespace="/order/offer">
<!-- THE FOLLOWING ONE... -->
<param name="menuSection">offerSection</param>

<action name="list" class="de.aixcept.foo.action.order.ListOffersAction">
<result name="success" type="dispatcher">
<param name="location">/WEB-INF/jsp/order/offer/list.jsp</param>
</result>
<interceptor-ref name="defaultStack"/>
</action>
<action name="edit" class="de.aixcept.foo.action.order.EditOfferAction">
<param name="idName">productOfferId</param>
<result name="success" type="dispatcher">
<param name="location">/WEB-INF/jsp/order/offer/edit.jsp</param>
</result>
<interceptor-ref name="defaultStack"/>
</action>
</package>
