/**
 * Interface for defining Simple Tag Handlers.
 * 
 * <p>Simple Tag Handlers differ from Classic Tag Handlers in that instead 
 * of supporting <code>doStartTag()</code> and <code>doEndTag()</code>, 
 * the <code>SimpleTag</code> interface provides a simple 
 * <code>doTag()</code> method, which is called once and only once for any 
 * given tag invocation.  All tag logic, iteration, body evaluations, etc. 
 * are to be performed in this single method.  Thus, simple tag handlers 
 * have the equivalent power of <code>BodyTag</code>, but with a much 
 * simpler lifecycle and interface.</p>
 *
 * <p>To support body content, the <code>setJspBody()</code> 
 * method is provided.  The container invokes the <code>setJspBody()</code> 
 * method with a <code>JspFragment</code> object encapsulating the body of 
 * the tag.  The tag handler implementation can call 
 * <code>invoke()</code> on that fragment to evaluate the body as
 * many times as it needs.</p>
 *
 * <p>A SimpleTag handler must have a public no-args constructor.  Most
 * SimpleTag handlers should extend SimpleTagSupport.</p>
 * 
 * <p><b>Lifecycle</b></p>
 *
 * <p>The following is a non-normative, brief overview of the 
 * SimpleTag lifecycle.  Refer to the JSP Specification for details.</p>
 *
 * <ol>
 *   <li>A new tag handler instance is created each time by the container 
 *       by calling the provided zero-args constructor.  Unlike classic
 *       tag handlers, simple tag handlers are never cached and reused by
 *       the JSP container.</li>
 *   <li>The <code>setJspContext()</code> and <code>setParent()</code> 
 *       methods are called by the container.  The <code>setParent()</code>
 *       method is only called if the element is nested within another tag 
 *       invocation.</li>
 *   <li>The setters for each attribute defined for this tag are called
 *       by the container.</li>
 *   <li>If a body exists, the <code>setJspBody()</code> method is called 
 *       by the container to set the body of this tag, as a 
 *       <code>JspFragment</code>.  If the action element is empty in
 *       the page, this method is not called at all.</li>
 *   <li>The <code>doTag()</code> method is called by the container.  All
 *       tag logic, iteration, body evaluations, etc. occur in this 
 *       method.</li>
 *   <li>The <code>doTag()</code> method returns and all variables are
 *       synchronized.</li>
 * </ol>
 * 
 * @see SimpleTagSupport
 * @since 2.0
