c:actionSource : This tag is used to specify the action source for the composite component declared in composite:interface.

c:attribute : This tag is used to declare an attribute for the composite component.

c:editableValueHolder : This tag is used to implement the EditableValueHolder.

c:extension : This tag is used inside the composite:interface to add an XML element.

c:facet : This tag is used to specify the facet is supported by this composite component.

c:implementation : This tag is used to define a composite component’s implementation.

c:insertChildren : This tag is used to insert a child within the composite component.

c:insertFacet : This tag is used to insert a facet child of the component by taking from the top level facet map.

c:interface : This tag is used to declare the use for a composite component.
