atg.droplet.TagAttributeDescriptor

public class TagAttributeDescriptor
extends java.beans.FeatureDescriptor

This class describes an attribute which is used as an argument to a TagConverter. This contains a description of the attribute as well as flags indicating whether or not the attribute is required or optional for the use of that converter. An attribute can also be "automatic" which means that the converter is implied by the use of that attribute in one of the tags which accepts TagConverters. If a converter does not have any automatic attributes, you must always specify the name of the converter using the converter attribute.
