Description

ComponentTag requires a Factory to be passed in via its constructor. This places restrictions on the kind of Factory that can be used.

I have a class drived from ComponentTag that wants to pass in a Factory that uses info from the derived class, something like this:

class MyTag extends ComponentTag {
private String foo;

public MyTag() {
super(new Factory() {
public Object newInstance()

{ return new MyComponent(foo); });
}
}


That won't work, but if I had a setFactory() method, I could just do this:


public MyTag() {
setFactory(new Factory() {
public Object newInstance(){ return new MyComponent(foo); }

);
}

which would work just fine.

Thanks,
Scott
