- Constructor Detail
  - TagData
```
public TagData(java.lang.Object[][] atts)
```
    Constructor for TagData.
    A typical constructor may be
```
 static final Object[][] att = {{"connection", "conn0"}, {"id", "query0"}};
 static final TagData td = new TagData(att);
 
```
    All values must be Strings except for those holding the distinguished object REQUEST_TIME_VALUE.
    Parameters:
    atts - the static attribute and values. May be null.
  - TagData
```
public TagData(java.util.Hashtable<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> attrs)
```
    Constructor for a TagData. If you already have the attributes in a hashtable, use this constructor.
    
    Parameters:
    attrs - A hashtable to get the values from.
- Method Detail
  - getId
```
public java.lang.String getId()
```
    The value of the tag's id attribute.
    
    Returns:
    the value of the tag's id attribute, or null if no such attribute was specified.
  - getAttribute
```
public java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String attName)
```
    The value of the attribute. If a static value is specified for an attribute that accepts a request-time attribute expression then that static value is returned, even if the value is provided in the body of a <jsp:attribute> action. The distinguished object REQUEST_TIME_VALUE is only returned if the value is specified as a request-time attribute expression or via the <jsp:attribute> action with a body that contains dynamic content (scriptlets, scripting expressions, EL expressions, standard actions, or custom actions). Returns null if the attribute is not set.
    
    Parameters:
    attName - the name of the attribute
    
    Returns:
    the attribute's value
  - setAttribute
```
public void setAttribute(java.lang.String attName,
                java.lang.Object value)
```
    Set the value of an attribute.
    
    Parameters:
    attName - the name of the attribute
    value - the value.
  - getAttributeString
```
public java.lang.String getAttributeString(java.lang.String attName)
```
    Get the value for a given attribute.
    
    Parameters:
    attName - the name of the attribute
    
    Returns:
    the attribute value string
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.ClassCastException - if attribute value is not a String
