A dependee-component specifies the component on which the current component depends as a result of a dependency created by a <createDependency> step. dependee-component has the component resolution semantics of the <dependee> installed component targeter. See Installed Component Targeters in N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 XML Schema Reference Guide.
dependee-component has the following syntax:
dependee:dependency-name |
dependency-name is the name of a dependency that is created by the current component.
dependee-component can only be used as a primary-component when the external component substitution reference appears in a component. When used as a primary-component, it cannot be used as the default value of a component variable or an override variable setting. This is because the dependency will not yet have been created when the variable is evaluated.
