       Body:
With a TagScript instance created by XMLParser in
its startElement and with every instance of TagScript
declaring a ThreadLocal, jelly is unusable in tipical servlet
environment.
Caching should be at higher level.
Jelly core should allow the run of scripts without
leaving any trace of itself at the end.

        Key: JELLY-85
    Summary: TagScript doesn't clear its cached tags after run()
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: jelly

Description:
TagScript caches the tags it generates in a ThreadLocal. At the beginning of run() it 
checks to see if the context wants to cache tags - if not, it clears the cache and 
regenerates it.

But there is no corresponding check and cache clearing at the end of run(). So if a 
tag holds onto some significant resource, that resource will hang around until the 
thread goes away or until the tag is run again.

I am using Jelly Swing extensively, and various tags end up attached to the AWT Event 
thread for the lifetime of my application.

As a quick fix, I have a patch that simply repeats the check-and-clear-cache behavior 
at the end of TagScript.run(). I also have a patch that adds this behavior to 
StaticTagScript, whose run() never seems to clear cached tags.

I am probably just unclear, but it seems to me that there is a deeper issue as well - 
the context is being asked whether it wants to cache tags, but the result of this 
question affects the TagScript, which is really independent of the context. It seems 
like if context wants to cache tags, perhaps the ThreadLocal used for their storage 
ought to belong to the context somehow.
