All Implemented Interfaces:

DynaTag, Tag

Direct Known Subclasses:

SetPropertiesTag, UseBeanTag

public abstract class MapTagSupport
extends DynaTagSupport

MapTag is a DynaTag implementation which uses a Map to store its attribute values in. Derived tags can then process this Map, change values, add or remove attributes or perform some other form of processsing pretty easily.
