The XPathDiscoveryType complex type, in Configuration Manager 2007, describes discovery information for settings discovered from an XML configuration file. The XML configuration file is located by the FilePath child element. The XPath expression in the XPathExpression element is used to query this XML configuration file. The text that is associated with each of the nodes returned from the XPath query is used to create an instance of the parent setting – if the query returns multiple nodes, multiple instances are created. The (prefix, namespace) pairs in the Declarations element indicate the prefixes and their associated namespaces as used in the XPathExpression.

Child Elements

Element	Type	Description
FilePath	FilePathType	The (local) path to the XML configuration file that is to be queried. This path can contain environment variables.
Namespace (WqlQueryDiscoveryType) Element	XPathNamespaceDeclarationType	Declaration of a single XML namespace and prefix used in the XPath expression that discovers a setting.
NamespaceDeclarations Element	XPathNamespaceDeclarationType	The list of (prefix, namespace) declarations.
XPathExpression	XPathExpressionType	A syntactically valid XPath expression into the XML configuration file specified in the FilePath. The initial context of the query is the document node of the XML document in the configuration file.
