      public class OptionTag
      extends AbstractHtmlElementBodyTag
      implements BodyTag

  JSP tag for rendering an HTML '`option`' tag.

  Must be used nested inside a `SelectTag`.

  Provides full support for databinding by marking an '`option`' as 'selected' if the `value` matches the value bound to the out `SelectTag`.

  The `value` property is required and corresponds to the '`value`' attribute of the rendered '`option`'.

  An optional `label` property can be specified, the value of which corresponds to inner text of the rendered '`option`' tag. If no `label` is specified then the `value` property will be used when rendering the inner text.

      Description copied from class: `AbstractHtmlElementBodyTag`
      Render the tag contents based on the supplied `BodyContent`.

      The default implementation simply `flushes` the `BodyContent` directly to the output. Subclasses may choose to override this to add additional content to the output.

      Description copied from class: `AbstractDataBoundFormElementTag`
      Autogenerate the '`id`' attribute value for this tag.
