Input Source

The variable substitution engine operates on any text-based input source in the form of a String or Reader. In practice, however, only these entities are used as input sources:

• Configuration-type resource files

• Input to CLI commands that perform variable substitution on demand

• Some of the component and plan attributes, such as the defaultInstallPath attribute of the <installSteps> element and the command attribute of the <execNative> step
