WSConfigElement is the generic data structure for all configuration elements. This data structure is used by add/update/delete/get functions to describe a new or modified configuration element. It contains the following data:

• String type: identifies the target configuration element. Top-level configuration elements are identified by their Acme Control Protocol (ACP) element names, for example sipManipulation.
• ArrayList<WSConfigAttribute> attributeList: an Arraylist of WSConfigAttributes
• ArrayList <WSConfigElement> children: ArrayList of WSConfigElements. that provides information on sub-elements.

  Sub-elements type (children) are identified by a path expression rooted in an ACP element, for example, sipManipulation/headerRule/elementRule specifies an Element Rule

• String elementTypePath: which is used internally to specify the path expression (for example sipManipulation/headerRule/elementRule). Because this tag is generated internally, the client does not need to set this data.
