## javax.faces.view.facelets
Class TagAttribute

    java.lang.Object
      javax.faces.view.facelets.TagAttribute

    public abstract class TagAttribute

extends Object

Representation of an XML attribute name=value pair on an XML element in a Facelet file.

Since:
  2.0

Constructor Summary
`TagAttribute()`

Method Summary
`abstract boolean` | `getBoolean(FaceletContext ctx)` If literal, return `Boolean.getBoolean(java.lang.String)` passing our value, otherwise call `getObject(FaceletContext, Class)`.
`abstract int` | `getInt(FaceletContext ctx)` If literal, call `Integer.parseInt(String)`, otherwise call `getObject(FaceletContext, Class)`.
`abstract String` | `getLocalName()` Local name of this attribute
`abstract Location` | `getLocation()` The location of this attribute in the FaceletContext
`abstract javax.el.MethodExpression` | `getMethodExpression(FaceletContext ctx, Class type, Class[] paramTypes)` Create a MethodExpression, using this attribute's value as the expression String.
`abstract String` | `getNamespace()` The resolved Namespace for this attribute
`abstract Object` | `getObject(FaceletContext ctx)` Delegates to getObject with Object.class as a param
`abstract Object` | `getObject(FaceletContext ctx, Class type)` If literal, simply coerce our String literal value using an ExpressionFactory, otherwise create a ValueExpression and evaluate it.
`abstract String` | `getQName()` The qualified name for this attribute
`abstract String` | `getValue()` Return the literal value of this attribute
`abstract String` | `getValue(FaceletContext ctx)` If literal, then return our value, otherwise delegate to getObject, passing String.class.
`abstract javax.el.ValueExpression` | `getValueExpression(FaceletContext ctx, Class type)` Create a ValueExpression, using this attribute's literal value and the passed expected type.
`abstract boolean` | `isLiteral()` If this TagAttribute is literal (not #{..} or ${..})
