I think that org.wildfly.clustering.dispatcher.CommandDispatcher is for 
invoking nodes on the WildFly cluster but I'm not sure of the API for 
invoking JDG remote and whether that is planned to be part of WildFly 
already, as part of our clustering effort.

Could/should JDG access fall into NoSQL integration?
