public abstract class ConverterELTag extends TagSupport
ConverterELTag is a base class for all Jakarta Server Pages custom actions that create and register
a Converter
instance on the ValueHolder
associated with our most immediate surrounding instance
of a tag whose implementation class is a subclass of UIComponentClassicTagBase
. To avoid creating duplicate
instances when a page is redisplayed, creation and registration of a Converter
occurs only
if the corresponding UIComponent
was created (by the owning UIComponentTag
) during the execution of
the current page.
This class may be used as a base class for tag instances that support specific Converter
subclasses.
Subclasses of this class must implement the createConverter()
method, which creates and returns a
Converter
instance. Any configuration properties that specify behavior of this Converter
must have
been set by the createConverter()
method. Generally, this occurs by copying corresponding attribute
values on the tag instance.
This tag creates no output to the page currently being created. It is used solely for the side effect of
Converter
creation.
