<component> Element

This <component> element is child of the <componentRef> element. This element identifies the referenced component. This element has the same structure as the <component> repository component targeter, except that the host attribute is not permitted. The referenced component version must exist in the repository at the time that the containing component is saved.

If the version attribute is not specified, the version is resolved to be the latest version of the referenced component that exists at the time that the containing component is saved. A save-time error occurs if no versions of the referenced component exist. After the containing component is saved, the versions of all the components it references are locked. The referenced components cannot be modified without creating a new version of the container component.
