remove a treewalker from a doc, Xerces1.1.1

What's the best way to remove a TreeWalker from a Document?

I have a Document that stays in memory and gets traversed 
occasionally.

I used to cast the TreeWalker to a TreeWalkerImpl and call
impl.removeTreeWalker( tw ); but that doesn't exist any more.

thanks,
greg

You don't need to. Just release your reference and it will eventually be
garbage collected.

It was removed because it's not necessary. This call is still necessary
for NodeIterators though.
