[undertow-dev] modeling the handler Factory interface

[Anil Saldhana]

Bill,
   have you tried plugging in a custom authentication scheme?  I am not 
sure you need your own handler.  If you look at it, for OAuth bearer 
token, you just need OAuthAuthenticationScheme that pulls in the bearer 
token from the header. You can certainly use http redirect to a OAuth 
provider (to get some token).

Regards,
Anil
