How to specify the list of nodes that will be protected against deletion?

You need to specify it in protectnodes/src/main/amp/config/alfresco/module/protectnodes/context/service-context.xml configuring the path of all the nodes you need to protect. You can also specify a set of nodes that needs to be unprotected in deletableList.

Example, see property undeletableList for the list of nodes to be protected:

	<bean id="protect.nodesComponent" class="org.alfresco.protectamp.ProtectNodesComponent"
		parent="module.baseComponent" init-method="init">
		<property name="moduleId" value="${project.artifactId}" />

		<!--  property name="executeOnceOnly" value="false" / -->
