[infinispan-dev] Issue with JGroups config files in ispn-core

[Alan Field]

Tristan,

So the server and library configuration parsers will handle something like this?

    <jgroups>
        <stack-file name="jgroupsStack" path="config/jgroups-udp.xml"/>
    </jgroups>

If this is true, then I agree that this is a good solution as well.

Thanks,
Alan
