[jboss-as7-dev] Deployment -- why marker files?

[Howard Gao]

In fact the purpose of those marker files belongs to a duty of a 
deployer. Has AS7 has any control over what kind of applications 
can/cannot be deployed?
It is useful for a user to prevent some bad applications (for example a 
beta version app), sensitive apps (for example some confidential apps 
supposed to run in a restricted domain) from being randomly deployed.
