If this doesn't hold true, then there's no reason to be able to promote
references, because there's
no possibility to reconfigure them.
I can't find a compliance test for this.
Greg,
Not sure what "this" applies to here.
However, [ASM50012] relates to test assertions TA 5017 and TA 5018 which in turn are implemented by
testcases 5017 and 5018:
5017:
"Tests that where a <reference/> of a <component/> has no <binding/> child element, but the
corresponding <reference/> element in the componentType does have a binding child element, the
<binding/> from the componentType is used for the reference"
5018:
"Tests that where a <reference/> of a <component/> has a <binding/> child element and the
corresponding <reference/> element in the componentType has a binding child element, the <binding/>
from the <reference/> is used for the reference"
If it's the promotion aspect you're concerned about, then there are other testcases that deal with
that, eg 5023.
Yours, Mike.
