This actually isn't as important as I thought - I can get the behavior I want by overriding the newInstance() method in my derived tag.

Description:
ComponentTag requires a Factory to be passed in via its constructor. This places restrictions on the kind of Factory that can be used.

I have a class drived from ComponentTag that wants to pass in a Factory that uses info from the derived class, something like this:

class MyTag extends ComponentTag {
    private String foo;

    public MyTag() {
        super(new Factory() {
            public Object newInstance(){
                return new MyComponent(foo);
            });
    }
}


That won't work, but if I had a setFactory() method, I could just do this:


    public MyTag() {
        setFactory(new Factory() {
            public Object newInstance(){
                return new MyComponent(foo);
            });
    }

which would work just fine.

Thanks,
Scott
