The navigation elements are exactly meant for this, so that would be the way to do it.

Usually the problem is that every website is a bit different, so if Template One or the free template module in the modules sandbox of opencms.org does not do what you want then you have to write your own code.

You can also use the taglib and content collectors instead of writing java code, but the principle is the same - it's just a different way of expressing what you do now with your java code. 
Take a look at the Alkacon docs for the opencms taglib if your are interested.


by the way: instead of writing
    if (...) {
      out.print("...");
    }

you can also write
    if (...) {
      %>...<%
    }


But that is a matter of personal preference of course
