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? > > Stuart > >> Regards, >> Anil >> >> On 12/16/2013 09:38 AM, Darran Lofthouse wrote: >>> How is this authentication mechanism being added? >>> >>> On 16/12/13 15:33, Anil Saldhana wrote: >>>> Hi, >>>> can the authentication mechanism have a lifecycle based on the >>>> context lifecycle? >>>> >>>> I need access to the ServletContext to look for deployment descriptors >>>> using the servletContext.getResourceAsStream() call. >>>> >>>> I am thinking something along the lines of: >>>> >>>> authenticationMechanism.start(ServletContext); >>>> authenticationMechanis.stop(); >>>> >>>> This will give an opportunity for the authentication mechanism to >>>> initialize and finalize any resources. >>>> >>>> Regards, >>>> Anil >> _______________________________________________ >> undertow-dev mailing list >> undertow-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >> https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/undertow-dev >>
