I am more thinking about exposing the Undertow DeploymentInfo API directly,
although I guess you would still need something similar to the WebHost
service to provide integration with security domain etc (as that is
provided by the Undertow subsystem, not Undertow itself).

Basically to add support for security we are going to need some way of
specifying the constraints etc, which the DeploymentInfo API already does.
It seems kind of silly to duplicate this.
