if we had :

This is a very good question to ask, but it's actually based on an
incorrect assumption. The container cannot reuse the same MyTag instance
from the first invocation to the second, precisely because its set of
attributes is different. Section JSP10.1.1 in the JSP 1.2 spec says the
following: tag handlers can only be reused within the same AttSet (set
of attributes that have been set).
If my memory is correct, the question you ask is exactly the reason that
the spec lays out this requirement: if it didn't, you'd have no place to
sensibly initialize default values for subsequent invocations that used
fewer attributes than their predecessors.
The practical answer is, thus, You don't need to worry about it.
Initializing the instance variable as
boolean attr1 = false;
is fine.
