/**
* ConverterELTag is a base class for all Jakarta Server Pages custom
* actions that create and register a Converter 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 only if the corresponding
* {@link UIComponent} was created (by the owning {@link
* UIComponentTag}) during the execution of the current page.
*
* This class may be used as a base class for tag instances that
* support specific {@link Converter} subclasses.
*
* Subclasses of this class must implement the
* createConverter() 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
* createConverter() method. Generally, this occurs
* by copying corresponding attribute values on the tag instance.
*
* This tag creates no output to the page currently being created. It
* is used solely for the side effect of {@link Converter} creation.
