Hello all,

our project needs to build dynamic breadcrumbs in the spring/hibernate web application. Can anybody share their idea on how this was implemented?

Thanks alot.

I believe SiteMesh can be used for breadcrumbs as well, although I haven't tried it myself.

HTH,

Sitemesh would be a good choice to build "Location Breadcrumbs", which statically tell you where you are.

If you need "Path Breadcrumbs" which tell you how you got there, some sort of session state management needs to take place and this is what I believe Workflow navigation manager (WFNM) handles well.

For details about the types of breadcrumbs, here's a good document :

Hope this helps,
