Unfortunately my unit tests run in junit. I cannot integrate the 
ServletExtension mechanism which is
a wildfly based integration usecase. If PicketLink SAML SSO has to 
integrate with Undertow, the unit
tests have to run in JUnit like we do with Tomcat and Jetty.

Do you have goals for Undertow to be a standalone web container (like 
jetty) or it is just a web container
usable in Wildfly?
