[undertow-dev] Top level access to servlet request

[Jack Ding]

Hi Stuart,

Thank you for your response. We have a filter class at the top level
currently which authenticates and tracks requests and may decide to delay a
request using AsyncContext's timeout. When implemented at the top level
before being delegated to a servlet, the asynccontext.dispatch will cause
the request (after the delay) to come back through the same filter class.
If it is done after being delegated, the dispatch will directly access the
resource requested. The class will mostly work in the same way if added as
an outer handler to the servlet context, except that dispatch will directly
go to the  underlying resource.

Thanks,
Jack
