Struts-menu Roles

[Frank Bueckert]

I've been bashing my head against this for most of the day. I think I've narrowed the problem down to a single line, but I have absolutely no idea on how to fix it. Documentation has a little bit of help, but not what I'm looking for.

Problem: Implementing security roles yanked out of a database. Specific to users. If I set permissions="rolesAdapter" in the useMenuDisplayer tag, nobody gets anything. I set permissions=<custom permission adapter> and everyone gets everything. Obviously, something wrong is happening.
Checking my roles, they get added to the user class properly.

Code:

    String[] menus = request.getParameterValues("menus");
    PermissionsAdapter permissions = new SeguePermissionsAdapter(menus);
   // request.setAttribute("segueAdapter", permissions);
    request.getSession().setAttribute("segueAdapter", permissions);    

This is basically yanked straight out of the permissions example. My problem is that menus turns up as null, no matter what I attempt to do. Why?

So, that is my problem. What am I doing wrong?
