I believe this is documented in the cli commands man page. And if you
try to use deploydir command to deploy in v3, you will see a message
telling you this command is deprecated:
hzhang_at_nmr:~$ ~/files/sun/glassfish/bin/asadmin deploydir
~/deployment/apps/hello
WARNING : deploydir command deprecated. Please use deploy command instead.
Command deploydir executed successfully.
This command will be removed in the next release after v3 (backward
compatibility rule, deprecated in one release and removed in the next).

There is no ambiguity in undeploying the application. The ear, war and
other module types share the same name space in server implementation,
so there can only be one application with the registration name "hello"
at one time.
