Version 6 is tightly integrated with .NET's configuration system. A .NET configuration file is composed of two parts:

• section definitions under the configSections tag, with a name and a type to load the section

• section implementations, one per name declared in the configSections tag

There are three different items to look for in the configuration:

• the activsoft.engine section to define handlers and the parameter loader

• the factory sections (actions, extractors, database abstraction, etc.) which are used in the activsoft.engine section by reference

• the standard sections defined by the platform in which elements must be configured for the engine to work (system.web/httpModules or system.web/httpHandlers)
