Deployment through http api is currently (at least) two steps:
- upload of the bits
- registering of the bits in /deployments 

could we at the second step not just provide more metadata
like "this deployment is of type X " with X being jdbc-driver, ear, war, ...
so either the domain controller can parse the bits for the information needed.
Or add a list or key-value pairs, that may be ignored by the deploy logic,
but which would help identifying the content in /deployments and 
perhaps querying them via some "query language".

I don't recall my exact need for querying, but I recall that we did have that
thought before.
