/**
* <p><strong>ConverterTag</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 UIComponentTag}. 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 directly to implement a generic converter
* registration tag (based on the converter-id specified by the
* <code>converterId</code> attribute), or as a base class for tag
* instances that support specific {@link Converter} subclasses. This
* <code>converterId</code> attribute must refer to one of the well
* known converter-ids, or a custom converter-id as defined in a
* <code>faces-config.xml</code> file.</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>
*
* @deprecated This has been partially replaced by {@link
* ConverterELTag}. The remainder of the functionality, namely, the
* binding facility and the implementation of the {@link
* #createConverter} method, is now an implementation detail.
