If I understand you properly, you're asking if there's a way to have
Smooks populate a Java model over multiple executions of Smooks. If so
then the answer is "probably" yes... I know some people have done this
(Michael Mackey being one), but it may depend on your exact use case...
so I have the "probably" caveat in there.
To do this, you need to set the java object model produced by the 1st
Smooks instance into the BeanContext that's passed to the second smooks
instance. Then in the config of the second smooks instance, you need to
omit the createOnElement attribute for the objects that are already
created and passed into through the BeanContext.
