[jboss-as7-dev] [AS7-664] Proposed changes for the HTTP Server

[Darran Lofthouse]

Working with the HTTP server I have a need in some places to maintain 
some state with the connection from the client.

   https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-664

With the current implementation I can detect the host and port of the 
client but there are no guarantees that a second administrator could not 
end up with the same values after the first disconnects so this proposed 
change is to associate some attributes with the physical connection.

For the httpserver the changes are here: -

https://github.com/darranl/httpserver/tree/issues/AS7-664

In addition to the changes to add a new get/setAttribute method with a 
scope parameter I have also moved the remaining classes to an org.jboss 
package - the reason being that although for the runtime the modified 
classes are easily picked up leaving them in the old package causes 
plenty of issues in IDEs, test cases and compilation.

Once the HTTP server is updated the AS source can be updated to use the 
modified classes: -

(If these changes are accepted it may also be time to get the httpserver 
under jbossas, at the moment this is based on the copy under dmlloyd)
