public interface DynaTag
extends Tag

DynaTag represents a Jelly custom tag which can take its attributes dynamically and store them in some data structure. Typically a DynaTag may use either a Map or a DynaBean to implement itself which avoids writing explicit getter and setter methods for each possible attribute.

This kind of tag can be extremely useful when making HTML-like tags which generally output all the attributes which are used in the markup, except one or two special attributes are used, all others pass through.
