[undertow-dev] Resource Handling Revisited

[Hicks, Matt]

The problem with ResourceHandler is it doesn't easily support more complex
scenarios.  A few examples: security on resources, URLs that must find a
resource path from the database, conditional resources (deliver resource A
if the IP is x.x.x.x and resource B otherwise), etc.

Offering a more granular control to allow delivery of individual resources
without the need of a ResourceHandler will drastically improve the
flexibility of Undertow.
