Resource injection for Servlet type should inject URL(s) for the servlet instead of baseURL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ARQ-539
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-539
             Project: Arquillian
          Issue Type: Enhancement
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0.CR2
            Reporter: Ian Brandt


As is suggested by the [current documentation on Resource Injection|https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ARQ/Resource+injection] the following injects the URL for the context (i.e. the base URL, e.g. "http://localhost:8080/test"):

{code:java}
@Test
private void shouldDoX(@ArquillianResource(MyServlet.class) URL baseURL) 
{
}
{code}

It would seem more intuitive when requesting injection of a URL for the {{MyServlet.class}} resource if that URL was for MyServlet, e.g. "http://localhost:8080/test/MyServlet".  Since {{MyServlet.class}} could be deployed to any {{url-pattern}}, e.g. "http://localhost:8080/test/TestServlet", it's not safe for the end user to guess from the {{baseURL}} and {{MyServlet.class}} name what the servlet's URL might be.  Come to think of it the same servlet could be deployed to numerous {{url-pattern}}'s, so perhaps injection of a {{Collection<URL>}} is really what's called for here:

{code:java}
@Test
private void shouldDoX(@ArquillianResource(MyServlet.class) Collection<URL> servletURLs) 
{
}
{code}

That would imply searching for the servlets in the {{HTTPContext}} by type rather than by name, however {{org.jboss.arquillian.container.spi.client.protocol.metadata.Servlet}} currently only stores the name and context root.
