/**
 * Optional class provided by the tag library author to describe additional translation-time information not described
 * in the TLD. The TagExtraInfo class is mentioned in the Tag Library Descriptor file (TLD).
 * <p>
 * This class can be used:
 * <ul>
 * <li>to indicate that the tag defines scripting variables
 * <li>to perform translation-time validation of the tag attributes.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * It is the responsibility of the JSP translator that the initial value to be returned by calls to getTagInfo()
 * corresponds to a TagInfo object for the tag being translated. If an explicit call to setTagInfo() is done, then the
 * object passed will be returned in subsequent calls to getTagInfo().
 * <p>
 * The only way to affect the value returned by getTagInfo() is through a setTagInfo() call, and thus,
 * TagExtraInfo.setTagInfo() is to be called by the JSP translator, with a TagInfo object that corresponds to the tag
 * being translated. The call should happen before any invocation on validate() and before any invocation on
 * getVariableInfo().
 * <p>
 * <b>NOTE:</b> It is a (translation time) error for a tag definition in a TLD with one or more variable sub elements to
 * have an associated TagExtraInfo implementation that returns a VariableInfo array with one or more elements from a
 * call to getVariableInfo().
