I am quite sure that it is possible to implement a mechanism to reserve a 
web-app context. However, I think that a more simple mechanism is to use the 
DeploymentManager.getAvailableModules method prior to distribute an 
application archive. Then, one can iterate on the returned TargetModuleID 
array and use the getWebURL method to assess a conflict.

However, a conflict could occur right in the middle of a distribution. I am 
not sure that to implement an ACID deployment mechanism is really required.
