Yes,

HttpHandler is undertow equivalent of Tomcat's Valve

And this task is just to add features we now have for web deployments (jboss-web.xml) also to non-web deployments that can result in web "endpoints" for example JAX-RS and JAX-WS.

Probably best place to add this would be with jboss-all.xml which is meant for cases like this.

To be fair it feels that work required to implement this properly is not an easy task.

> Please add a way to configure handlers for EJB3 endpoints packaged in an ejb-jar.
> At the moment there is no option in any of the ejb deployment descriptors and of course it isn't possible to configure valves globally.
> The only way to configure handlers is by handlers.conf of ServletExcention at the moment, but this is currently limited to web deployments only.
