Element
Visitor (GoF) interface for DOM.
Filter filters (analyses/transforms) XML/XHTML/HTML content
by "visting" the DOM
Element nodes through a series of iterations over
the source XML DOM.
This interface defines the methods for a "visiting" filter.
Implementations of this interface provide a means of hooking analysis
and transformation logic into the
Filter filtering process.
Implementations should be annotated with the
Phase
annotation, indicating in which of the
Visit Phases the visitor should be applied. If not
annotated, the visitor is applied during the Processing phase. The phase may also be specified via the
"VisitPhase" property on the
resource configuration. Valid values
in this case are "ASSEMBLY" and "PROCESSING".
Implementations must be stateless. If state storage is required, attach the state to the
supplied
ExecutionContext.
