Support flexible use of HttpContext implementations for Servlet whiteboard
pattern
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-3225
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3225
Project: Felix
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: HTTP Service
Affects Versions: http-2.2.0
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
The servlet registration whiteboard pattern is great. But it lacks
functionality to use a custom HttpContext implementation. This is particularly
annoying in situations where a custom implementation is required e.g. for
authentication purposes.
The idea is:
* HttpContext services are registered with an identification property, e.g.
felix.context.id
* Servlet services are registered with the same identification property,
where the whiteboard support will merge the two
* If a Servlet service is registered for which not HttpContext is available,
the servlet is not registered with the HttpService (yet).
* When an HttpContext is registered any registered servlet services are
checked for whether they refer to the newly registered HttpContext
* Likewise on HttpContext unregistration, related services must be
unregistered from the HttpContext again
