Subject: Re: [undertow-dev] AuthenticationMechanism lifecycle
Right now, I just have a junit test. I set the auth mechanism factory
in the deployment info.
di.addAuthenticationMechanism("FORM" ,
SPFormAuthenticationMechanism.FACTORY);
Irrespective of how it is added, when the deployment start happens,
undertow should try to start
the authentication mechanisms by providing a handle to the servlet
context. The authentication mechanism
may need to read deployment descriptors or set up internal resources.
The ServletExtension already has a reference to the ServletContext, you can just pass it
in to your factory.
I guess this is another argument against using the factory, vs just creating it in the
ServletExtension.
