    `release` in class `TagSupport`
  See Also:
    `Tag.release()`

### doStartTag

    public int doStartTag()

  Description copied from class: `TagSupport`

### doCatch

    public void doCatch(Throwable t)

  Description copied from interface: `TryCatchFinally`
  Invoked if a Throwable occurs while evaluating the BODY inside a tag or in any of the following methods: Tag.doStartTag(), Tag.doEndTag(), IterationTag.doAfterBody() and BodyTag.doInitBody().

  This method is not invoked if the Throwable occurs during one of the setter methods.

  This method may throw an exception (the same or a new one) that will be propagated further up the nest chain. If an exception is thrown, doFinally() will be invoked.

  This method is intended to be used to respond to an exceptional condition.

  Specified by:
    `doCatch` in interface `TryCatchFinally`
  Parameters:
    `t` - The throwable exception navigating through this tag.

### doFinally

    public void doFinally()

  Description copied from interface: `TryCatchFinally`
  Invoked in all cases after doEndTag() for any class implementing Tag, IterationTag or BodyTag. This method is invoked even if an exception has occurred in the BODY of the tag, or in any of the following methods: Tag.doStartTag(), Tag.doEndTag(), IterationTag.doAfterBody() and BodyTag.doInitBody().

  This method is not invoked if the Throwable occurs during one of the setter methods.

  This method should not throw an Exception.

  This method is intended to maintain per-invocation data integrity and resource management actions.

  Specified by:
    `doFinally` in interface `TryCatchFinally`

### setVar

    public void setVar(String var)
