Re: [jboss-as7-dev] Server Group equals Cluster?

Exactly. The foundation of the AS's clustering features are JGroups channels where the instance of a channel on a given server discovers its peers and exchange messages in a peer-to-peer topology. That discovery and the ability to properly exchange messages depends on a consistent configuration between the members of the cluster. A server group is the logical way to achieve that consistent configuration. However, if the user configured two server groups with the same clustering configuration and the servers in the two groups were visible to each other over the network, all the servers would form a single cluster.
