[keycloak-dev] [async] Why is async jaxrs being used?

[Bill Burke]

I say this because I'm trying to run the policy evaluator within the IDE 
within the arquillian testsuite and it is failing.  We have regular 
non-async servlet filters in Keycloak.  Undertow now checks to see if 
there are any non-async servlet filters and won't allow async http.
