Defines a server instance, which is a Java EE compliant container. One server instance is specially designated as a domain administration server (DAS). The admin-service subelement of the config element referenced by a server's config-ref attribute determines whether the server is the DAS.
Server instances are not the same thing as virtual servers. Each server instance is a completely separate server that contains one or more virtual servers.
In GlassFish v3 prelude, there is only one server, the DAS.
