Puppet users - Mar 2011 - way of importing .pp file or some string that contain class definition in ruby dsl

I''m finding the way to import a file or a class stored in string in
ruby manifest.

I have tried following code to parse the class having packages and
services.

pp = Puppet::Parser::Parser.new("development")
pp.string = "class webhttpd{package { ''httpd'': ensure
=> installed, }
service { ''httpd'': ensure => running,  enable => true, 
require =>
Package[''httpd''] } }"
pp.parse


pp = pp = Puppet::Parser::Parser.new("development")
pp.file = "web.pp"
pp.parse

My idea is to re-use the classes written in the pp file style and they
are stored in database. I just want to load those classes depending on
''FQDN'' name of a node and then create a node in ruby like
this.

node  name_of_the_node{
   create_resource :class, "httpd"
}

I hope now you get what i''m trying to do in the ruby manifest. If its
still not clear then please ask me to explain more about what i want
to achieve from this.

Thanks.

Have a look at external node classifiers, I believe this is a more
appropriate approach for what you are trying to accomplish:
