/**
 * 
 * Public base class for markup element instances that map to
 * {@link UIComponent} instances in the view.
 * 
 *
 * 
 *
 * 
 * Instances of this class are created and passed to
 * {@link TagHandlerDelegateFactory#createComponentHandlerDelegate} when a tag corresponding to this particular
 * component is encountered in a Facelet view. A custom tag handler for a component, converter, validator, or behavior
 * must extend from this class. In this way, this instance acts as a delegate for the implementation private tag
 * handler. Such a subclass may choose to override as many or as few methods from this base class as desired. If the
 * subclass wants to completely override the action of the implementation specific tag for which this component is the
 * delegate, it must override the apply() method and make it take the following actions, in this
 * order. These actions must only happen the first time this facelet is applied for each user. Subsequent
 * applications must take no action.
 * 
 *
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * The UIComponent represented by this element is created with the appropriate
 * Application.createComponent() method.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * Each attribute specified in the markup is correctly applied to the component instance, as specified in the VDLDocs
 * for this element.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * If project stage is {@link jakarta.faces.application.ProjectStage#Development}, Put the
 * {@link jakarta.faces.view.Location} for this element into the component attribute Map under the key
 * given by the value of the symbolic constant {@link jakarta.faces.component.UIComponent#VIEW_LOCATION_KEY}.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * Set the id of the component. If the id is specified manually by the page author, that value must be set as the id.
 * Otherwise, the closest ancestor component that is an instance of {@link jakarta.faces.component.UniqueIdVendor} must
 * be located and its {@link jakarta.faces.component.UniqueIdVendor#createUniqueId} method must be called to derive the
 * id. If no such instance can be found, call {@link jakarta.faces.component.UIViewRoot#createUniqueId} to derive the
 * id.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * The rendererType property of the component is set properly.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * {@link #onComponentCreated} is called.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * {@link UIComponent#pushComponentToEL} is called on the newly created component.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * The next handler in the facelet chain is applied. This will cause the component to be populated with children.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * The component is added to its parent in the view.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * {@link UIComponent#popComponentFromEL} is called on the newly created component.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * Call {@link UIComponent#markInitialState}.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 *
 * 
 *
 * 
 * A common use case for extending this class is to gain access to the process by which the Facelets runtime creates
 * component instances corresponding to markup in a Facelets view. These three methods are useful in such cases.
 * 
 *
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * To control the instantiation of the UIComponent instance, subclasses may override
 * {@link #createComponent}. If this method is not overridden, the tag handler for which this instance is the delegate
 * will take the necessary action to instantiate the UIComponent.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * To be notified of creation of the UIComponentinstance, subclasses may override
 * {@link #onComponentCreated}.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
 * To be notified that the freshly created UIComponent instance has been populated with children as a
 * result of execution of child tag handlers, subclasses may override {@link #onComponentPopulated}.
 * 
 *
