Specified by:

traverse in interface PicoVisitor

Overrides:

traverse in class AbstractPicoVisitor

visitContainer

public void visitContainer(PicoContainer pico)

Description copied from interface: PicoVisitor

Visit a PicoContainer that has to accept the visitor.

Specified by:

visitContainer in interface PicoVisitor

Overrides:

visitContainer in class TraversalCheckingVisitor
