Using the old deprecated configureTag method of the SimpleTagProvider class, you used to pass in a string for the path, but now it’s a TagPath interface instead of a string. I’m kind of new to this. Can someone explain how to configure the TagPath interface so I can use it with the configureTag method?

Use TagPathParser to convert between a string tag path and a TagPath object. I believe it will pass back a BasicTagPath, which implements TagPath.

Thanks, Kyle. I’ll give that a shot and see if it’s what I need.
