I have figured out a solution to my use case:<br><br>I setup a listener on the ViewChanged event, and if a particular node becomes coordinator, then it holds the singleton (usually just a service running as a thread).<br><br>

</div>Hmmm, Infinispan is not an app server and hence does not do deployments, so not sure what you refer to.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I didn't explain myself properly. I don't want Infinispan to implement cluster singletons for me, but I would like to leverage Infinispan's features to implement the singleton myself. For example by binding a key in the cache to its owner (the first node to put() the key in the cache). If the owner "disappears", someone else might take ownership of that key.</div>
