In a word: why?
What does PicketBox provide that Undertow needs? I'd be highly
skeptical unless it's clear what requirements were fed *into* PicketBox
to begin with. We know what we need; the burden of justification lies
on you in this case.
At a bare minimum from Undertow perspective, PicketBox5 has
implemented
the Servlet security mechanisms in a container independent fashion .
You can take a look at that. If Undertow needs to implement servlet
security mechanism, we can provide you a PBox5 tiny library to
integrate into undertow or you will have to code it yourself, unless you
have already done that. :)
