Kevin Minder commented on KNOX-670:
-----------------------------------
This attached patch allows for simple apps to be installed in conf/applications
and these will be deployed at server startup. The context path for these is
the name of the file so knoxpolorer.was is deployed at /knoxplorer and
accessible at https://localhost:8443/knoxplorer for example. A check is done
to make sure that neither the gateway path or _default are used. Any change
would also require a server restart. I have some reservations about this.
1. There is no manageability story with this. These cannot be deployed or
managed via Ambari.
2. There is no support for using any of the Knox features like security "in
front" of these apps using this approach.

> I think that we need the ability to serve up arbitrary web app resources.
> Given a conf/applications along side conf/topologies, we should be able to
> spin up a simple application that can be used as a central login facility
> with KnoxSSO, a management UI or any number of simple applications.
