Accessing Component inside a component

I have created a page which is of type cq:page. I have a component under the jcr:content node of this page as nt:unstructured type and points to the component location in apps.

I have hardcoded a component inside this component. Now, I'm unable to access the nodes in the second component. I need to set properties of the nodes (in the second component) using the ResourceResolver — how do I access the nodes in the second component?

Because you're hard-coding component B inside of component A, you can also statically define its path relative to A.

Presumably, you're using <cq:include> to embed component B inside of component A. Two of its possible attributes are the path and resourceType. Path in this case is the relative path that the included component will have when created.

So if the JSP for component A contains:

<!--Some component A content here -->

<cq:include path="inner" resourceType="myProject/components/content/componentB"/>

<!-- Some more component A content -->

Any time a node with a resource type of "componentA" is created, it will create a child node with a relative path to component A of "inner" (with a resource type of componentB).

I.e. if the outer component in your case is at /content/mysite/mypage/jcr:content/componentA, then the inner component will be at /content/mysite/mypage/jcr:content/componentA/inner, given the code above.
