public interface ContentComponent
- extends WCMApiObject
The root interface in the Content Component hierarchy.
ContentComponent
is an interface to mark a component
that can be held within a ContentComponentContainer
.
A ContentComponent
can exist only on Content
,
Site
or SiteArea
objects. A ContentComponent
must live in a ContentComponentContainer
- it cannot exist in the
the repository as a separate object.
A content component has a one-to-one relationship with a
ContentComponentContainer
object, and consequently, with an object
that can implements a ContentComponentContainer
. This is different to
a LibraryComponent
as a LibraryComponent
may be reused
by different objects in the repository.
note: since v6.0.0
, a ContentComponent
is
referred to as an "Element" in the Authoring UI.
