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