public interface ProcessingNodeBuilder

extends org.apache.avalon.framework.component.Component

A ProcessingNode builder.

Lifecycle information : a TreeBuilder can be recycled and used to build several Processors, each one defining a different ComponentManager. As a consequence, a ProcessingNodeBuilder that needs access to the ComponentManager of the Processor being built must be not only Composable but also Recomposable.

Note however that being Recomposable doesn't forbid to be ThreadSafe since a ProcessingNodeBuilder is used by only one TreeBuilder at a time.
