Groups are collections of either components, repositories, or both, that have been combined for a particular purpose. When items are assigned to groups, operations can be performed on a group basis instead of individually. Group membership is not defined by the group, but is declared by the members. The number of groups to which a component or repository can belong is unlimited.
Component Designer is used to define groups and also to assign group membership to components and repositories. A component or repository can be a member of any group in the component database, regardless of the .sld file in which it was defined.
