<nestedRef> Repository Component Targeter

<nestedRef> specifies a nested component reference that is declared or is inherited by the current composite component. Only steps in a composite component can use this targeter.

This element can be used as a targeter for the <install> step.

The specified component reference should not have been previously installed by the calling component. Otherwise, an error is issued. If a nested referenced component is to be installed on a different host, use a <retarget> step instead. You cannot otherwise specify a new host within the <nestedRef> targeter. You cannot install a nested component reference on more than one host for a given containing component.

The <nestedRef> targeter has one required attribute of type identifier, name, which is the name of a nested component reference that is in this component.
