3.1.1.2 Configuration Path

Each node can be uniquely identified by a fully qualified name. A fully qualified name consists of names of all the ancestor nodes listed in order beginning with the root node of the tree. Node names in the fully qualified path are separated by the '/' character.

A fully qualified path that identifies a node in the configuration store is called the configuration path.

For the following example of configuration nodes:

 Machine
     Webroot
         AppHost
             Site1
                 App1
                     Dir1
                     Dir2
                 App2
             Site2
                 App3
                 App4
  

Node Machine has a single child node Webroot. Node Site1 has a child node called App1 that in turn has two child nodes Dir1 and Dir2. The configuration path for node App1 is Machine/Webroot/Apphost/Site1/App1.
