[undertow-dev] AuthenticationMechanism lifecycle

[Anil Saldhana]

Right now, I just have a junit test.  I set the auth mechanism factory 
in the deployment info.

di.addAuthenticationMechanism("FORM" , 
SPFormAuthenticationMechanism.FACTORY);

Irrespective of how it is added, when the deployment start happens, 
undertow should try to start
the authentication mechanisms by providing a handle to the servlet 
context.  The authentication mechanism
may need to read deployment descriptors or set up internal resources.

Regards,
Anil
