This example of deploying in a different instance is used to demonstrate that your applications can be deployed anywhere you like including in completely different physical servers in a completely different web domain. In a nutshell, SSO between apps within the same server is trivial (In fact for this setup, you can probably just use the Tomcat SSO). Its when they can be completely location/domain independent, and then the framework truly shines ;) Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4127530#...
