Application menus can be defined in configuration file 
<a href="$context/source-viewer.htm?filename=WEB-INF/menu.xml">/WEB-INF/menu.xml</a>
<p/>
To access the root menu item of the applications configured menus simply create
a root Menu item using the default construtor:

<pre class="codeJava">
<span class="kw">public class</span> MenuPage <span class="kw">extends</span> BorderedPage {

    <span class="kw">public</span> MenuPage() {
        addControl(<span class="kw">new</span> Menu(<span class="st">"rootMenu"</span>));
    } 
}</pre>

This Menu constructor will return copy of the menu tree, which can be
accessed via the children property. In the menu tree, the Menu item for the 
current page will be selected, and its parents will also be selected.

<p/>

In this example the applications menu is rendered as a 2 level menu using a 
Velocity Macro 
<a href="$context/source-viewer.htm?filename=macro.vm">macro.vm</a>
