-----------------------------------------------------------
This attached patch allows for simple apps to be installed in conf/applications
and these will be deployed at server startup. The apps may be files or
directories but they need have a .war extension. They to not need to be full
WARs. For example it it could contain a single index.html file in the root.
The context path for these is the name of the file so knoxpolorer.war 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.
