/**
 * Defines how Arquillian should communicate with and prepare the @{@link Deployment} for in container testing.
 * <p>
 * Arquillian will use what the container has defined as it's default protocol unless you specify other wise. You can
 * override this behavior
 * by using @OverProtocol on the @Deployment method.
 * <p>
 * <p>
 * Usage Example:<br/>
 * <pre><code>
 * @Deployment @OverProtocol("MyCustomProtocol")
 * public static WebArchive create() {
 *      return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class);
 * }
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>
 * You can also override the default behavior on a global level using arquillian.xml. This will apply to
 * all containers and all deployments in your test suite.
 * <p>
 * <p>
 * Usage Example:<br/>
 * <pre><code>
 * <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 * <arquillian xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 *   xmlns="http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian"
 *   xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian/arquillian_1_0.xsd">
 *
 *      <defaultProtocol type="Servlet 3.0" />
 * </arquillian>
 * </code></pre>
