Static Tag Attributes

Static tag attributes are used to pass information from a JSP to a custom tag
Example: here is a tag element date that has an attribute called format: <tag> element with attribute
The attribute name must match a private field and setter method in the tag class
Here is a tag class with a format field and a setFormat() method: FormatDateTag.java
This JSP uses the date tag and the format attribute: FormatDateTagTest.jsp
Note that use of the format attribute causes the setFormat() method to be called
