public class TemplateTag
extends javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.BodyTagSupport

This tag is the dynamic version of the Template tag. Rather than simply including the design-time injected the content into the page , it can re-generate the body content. To enable dynamic templates move the templates into the host application, and process the template request as any other JSP call. In this case, the template tags are native. There is no external call to a separate web context to generate the region. This requires: 1) The template taglib is installed into the application under development; not into a separate context. 2) The templates are modified to include the tc tag lib declaration. 3) At design you can still inject a version of the region's content into the page. This would still provide a design time view of the page. The runtime view will reflect the current state of the meta data definition. 4) When the tag's dynamic attribute is set to false, then the tag's body content is evaluated as it is now ( as static JSP ).
