  - setTag
```
public void setTag(Tag tag)
```
    Set a reference to the Tag for which this class represents the attributes. The VDL runtime must ensure that this method is called before any FaceletHandlers for this element are instantiated. For compatibility with previous implementations, a no-op implementation is provided.
    
    Parameters:
    
    tag - the tag we represent.
