摘要：A system and method of integrating the physical and virtual namespaces of a

site into a single hierarchical representation thereof that reflects the hierarchicalarrangement of the site as perceived by the client. A dynamic namespace integrationmechanism is implemented as a part of a site management service to look up andintegrate hierarchically organized directory information maintained in a registry (e.g.,metabase) for both physical and virtual directories. The administrator is then given a viewof the site that corresponds to the view of the client browsing the site. The administratormay interface with a user interface displaying the integrated namespace to manage theproperties under a site's directories. The hierarchical relationships between the physicaland virtual directories enable the administrator to set properties on parent nodes thatare inheritable by child nodes, simplifying management tasks.
