Use the $basedOn property to apply the configuration properties of one component to another. You can override individual properties for the component that is based on the other. Use the $basedOn property when you need multiple components to share many of their configuration properties.

Set the value of the $basedOn property to the Nucleus path of the component that will supply property values to the current component.

The following configuration file shows the $basedOn property.

# This component is based on the configuration for another component.
$basedOn=/mycompany/mybasecomponent/

# Override individual property values.
