A ServletModule will not be automatically loaded by Guacamole. The API that
Guacamole provides for extensions to add their own endpoints, etc.
leverages JAX-RS:
http://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/guacamole-ext.html#ext-rest-resources
http://guacamole.apache.org/doc/guacamole-ext/org/apache/guacamole/net/auth/AuthenticationProvider.html#getResource--
http://guacamole.apache.org/doc/guacamole-ext/org/apache/guacamole/net/auth/UserContext.html#getResource--
Does the library you're trying to use provide support for JAX-RS? If so,
you could expose a REST resource that serves what you're looking for. That
would be supported by the Guacamole extension API.
