Yes, the <security-domain> element is still used, at least in WARs. I 
think it should be used for EARs as well.
There is SecurityDomain annotation in the PicketBox project but it has 
never been used for EJB3s. I think we should start using it to avoid 
having 2 different annotations. Customers get confused with that.

It was decided that deploying a security domain along with an 
application will not be a feature in AS7 as it would leave the security 
domain unmanageable. Jason said we will discuss this feature for AS7.1 
(there are other use cases for standalone deployments besides security 
domains).
