You can make use of parameterized classes: class application::add($appname) { path => '/var/${appname}', ... } Within your node definition you call the class with desired parameter: node 'node1' { class application::add { appname => 'app1' } class application::add { appname => 'app3' } } Kind regards, Martin > > 2011/6/21 Chris Phillips <ch...@untrepid.com <mailto:ch...@untrepid.com>> > > I would see a principle whereby nodes should not ever be defined > within the manifest code at all.
