Title: About Server Groups Describe the issue: There is only "name" and "profile" mentioned among mandatory attributes, but also "socket-binding-group" is mandatory for server group. Suggestions for improvement: Move "socket-binding-group" to mandatory attributes and remove "If the socket-binding-group name is not provided in the server-group element, it must be provided for each server in the host.xml." part from it. Additional information: EAP 6.2.0 http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.2/html/Administration_and_Configuration_Guide/Server_Groups.html
Moving to ON_QA. The changes should be available for review on the documentation stage within an hour or so from this comment. http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/
There is still "If the socket-binding-group name is not provided in the server-group element, it must be provided for each server in host.xml." part. It is true that socket-binding-group can be overridden on a per-server basis in host.xml, but it is mandatory element for every server group. If the socket-binding-group element is missing in server-group configuration, domain fails to start.
This is still not correct :). Please fix it in following manner: socket-binding-group: the default socket binding group used for servers in the group. This name can be overridden on a per-server basis in host.xml, but it is a mandatory element for every server-group and the domain can not start if it is missing. Last sentence "If the socket-binding-group name..." makes no sense as if the socket-binding-group is not provided, domain won't start. To make it clear you can specify the socket-binding-group in two places a) server-group b) server - each server belongs to some server-group. - socket-binding-group is mandatory element for each server group - by specifying socket-binding-group for server you can actually overwrite the value specified in server-group (on a per-server basis), but even if you overwrite this value, it must still be present in server-group configuration or domain won't start
I see. thank you for the explanation, Petr. I've removed the last line altogether since it does in fact not make sense and we already convey the fact that we can override the server group setting for individual hosts earlier. Hopefully this is OK now.
