Regarding that problem is it possible for us to detect the presence of 
other org.jboss.*.SecurityDomain annotations that we do not process?  If 
so and maybe log a warning that we have not used it?

I did loose count of the number of times users could not get security to 
work because they had the wrong annotation and the side effect was the 
security was not enabled.
