This interface provides two new methods: doCatch(Throwable) and doFinally(). The prototypical invocation is as follows:

 h = get a Tag();  // get a tag handler, perhaps from pool

 h.setPageContext(pc);  // initialize as desired
 h.setParent(null);
 h.setFoo("foo");
 
 // tag invocation protocol; see Tag.java
 try {
   doStartTag()...
   ....
   doEndTag()...
 } catch (Throwable t) {
   // react to exceptional condition
   h.doCatch(t);
 } finally {
   // restore data invariants and release per-invocation resources
   h.doFinally();
 }
 
 ... other invocations perhaps with some new setters
 ...
 h.release();  // release long-term resources
