Believe me, it is not a bug but a feature! One of the key features of WildFly is that only a minimal set of services is started; therefore, in order to see a cluster's live demonstration, you need to deploy a cluster-aware application. In order to trigger clustering libraries in your application, you can follow two approaches:
