[chef] Re: Attribute to be ":kind of" another resource ?

[Nathan Williams < >]

you can do this pretty easily, i think kind_of just takes a class name as an argument, so you could just say `:kind_of => Chef::Resource::BinaryServer`. I do something very similar in the haproxy-ng cookbook, but via callbacks, as the attribute takes multiples:

Can I have an attribute that is kind of another resource ?

here is my scenario,

I have a resource called BinaryServer and let say it has attributes like (name, installation_dir, version )

I have another resource called AdminServer 

in AdminServes provider I wanna access the Binary Server's attribute.

I was wondering if I could have an attribute type of BinaryServer,

so I could do this,

new_resource.binary_server.installation_dir

ideas?
