31 * implements the Tag and IterationTag interfaces and adds additional
32 * convenience methods including getter methods for the properties in
33 * Tag. TagSupport has one static method that is included to
34 * facilitate coordination among cooperating tags.

48 *
49 * <p>
50 * The current version of the specification only provides one formal
51 * way of indicating the observable type of a tag handler: its
52 * tag handler implementation class, described in the tag-class
53 * subelement of the tag element. This is extended in an
54 * informal manner by allowing the tag library author to
55 * indicate in the description subelement an observable type.
56 * The type should be a subtype of the tag handler implementation
57 * class or void.
58 * This addititional constraint can be exploited by a
59 * specialized container that knows about that specific tag library,
60 * as in the case of the JSP standard tag library.
61 *
62 * <p>
63 * When a tag library author provides information on the
64 * observable type of a tag handler, client programmatic code
65 * should adhere to that constraint. Specifically, the Class
66 * passed to findAncestorWithClass should be a subtype of the
67 * observable type.
