12.46. The VisitLifecycleCleanable

Visitor components implementing the VisitLifecycleCleanable life-cycle interface will be able to perform post SAXVisitAfter.visitAfter life-cycle operations. 
public interface VisitLifecycleCleanable extends Visitor 
{
   public abstract void executeVisitLifecycleCleanup(ExecutionContext executionContext);
}

The basic call sequence can be described as follows (note the executeVisitLifecycleCleanup calls): 
smooks.filterSource(...);
    
    <message>
        <target-fragment>      < --- VisitorXX.visitBefore
            Text!!                       < --- VisitorXX.onChildText  
            <child>                      < --- VisitorXX.onChildElement
            </child>                 
        </target-fragment>     < --- VisitorXX.visitAfter
        ** VisitorXX.executeVisitLifecycleCleanup **
        <target-fragment>      < --- VisitorXX.visitBefore
            Text!!                       < --- VisitorXX.onChildText  
            <child>                      < --- VisitorXX.onChildElement
            </child>                 
        </target-fragment>     < --- VisitorXX.visitAfter
        ** VisitorXX.executeVisitLifecycleCleanup **
    </message>
    VisitorXX.executeExecutionLifecycleCleanup

smooks.filterSource(...);
    
    <message>
        <target-fragment>      < --- VisitorXX.visitBefore
            Text!!                       < --- VisitorXX.onChildText  
            <child>                      < --- VisitorXX.onChildElement
            </child>                 
        </target-fragment>     < --- VisitorXX.visitAfter
        ** VisitorXX.executeVisitLifecycleCleanup **
        <target-fragment>      < --- VisitorXX.visitBefore
            Text!!                       < --- VisitorXX.onChildText  
            <child>                      < --- VisitorXX.onChildElement
            </child>                 
        </target-fragment>     < --- VisitorXX.visitAfter
        ** VisitorXX.executeVisitLifecycleCleanup **
    </message>
    VisitorXX.executeExecutionLifecycleCleanup

This life-cycle method allows you to ensure that resources scoped around a single fragment execution of a SAXVisitor implementation can be cleaned up for the associated ExecutionContext.
