public class TagAttributeInfo extends Object
Only the information needed to generate code is included here. Other information like SCHEMA for validation belongs elsewhere.
Note from the Expert Group:
This should have been designed as an interface. Every time we change the TLD, we need to add a new constructor to
this class (not good). This class should only be instantiated by container implementations (not by JSP developers).
