Re: What is Best Practice for Menu Storage / Retrieval?

Hello,

I am writing a system where the user wants to store menu values in a
database where they can be changed at will. To get the prototype up in
a hurry, I have stored them in XML format in a database table, and each
time a user connects I retrieve them. For the real system, I would like
to retrieve them once at startup of the system, then each new user will
receive them from some sort of cache. The user is OK with bouncing the
system when the menu changes, if necessary. What is a best practice for
this type of scenario - use properties files or some sort of object
that stays in the JVM memory for the life of the system, or maybe
something else entirely? I have searched the web for documents relating
to this but have not really found much so any links would be
appreciated, as well as helpful advice.

How dynamic do you need the menus to be? Can they change while the program
is in use? Or can changes only be made when the system is down for
maintenance?

Are we talking about an application or a suite of servlets or something else
again?

I think we'll need to know at least that much before we can hope to advise
you.
