> <myprefix:mytag myattribute=value/>

> In the Tag class the doStartTag method ends with:

> public VariableInfo[] getVariableInfo(TagData data)
> {
> VariableInfo[] info = new VariableInfo[1];
> info[0] = new VariableInfo("myattribute", "String", false,
> VariableInfo.AT_BEGIN);
> return info;

> When I run this the getVariableInfo method is not called and the new value

to
