Hmmm, Infinispan is not an app server and hence does not do deployments, so not sure what you refer to.

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.

This can be done with JGroups, but I wanted something a bit more "abstracted" from the transport's implementation.
