  • Patent number: 6256031
    Abstract: A system and method of integrating the physical and virtual namespaces of a site into a single hierarchical representation thereof that reflects the hierarchical arrangement of the site as perceived by the client. A dynamic namespace integration mechanism is implemented as a part of a site management service to look up and integrate hierarchically organized directory information maintained in a registry (e.g., metabase) for both physical and virtual directories. The administrator is then given a view of the site that corresponds to the view of the client browsing the site. The administrator may interface with a user interface displaying the integrated namespace to manage the properties under a site's directories. The hierarchical relationships between the physical and virtual directories enable the administrator to set properties on parent nodes that are inheritable by child nodes, simplifying management tasks.
