The nestedRef Repository Component Targeter

The <nestedRef> element may be used as a targeter for the <install> step. It identifies a nested component reference declared or inherited by the current composite component. Only steps within composite components may use this targeter.

It is assumed that the named component reference has not been previously installed by the calling component, and an error is raised otherwise. Note that if a nested referenced component is to be installed on different host, a <retarget> step must be used. One cannot otherwise name a new host within the <nestedRef> targeter. It is not possible to install a nested component reference on more than one host for a given containing component.
