A working Kerberos Filter for Grizzly

Hi,

I'm brand new to open source so pardon any misgivings.

I've been working with Grizzly, which at our company is used for the REST
API Server. Recently, we had a requirement to enable Kerberos for Grizzly
NIO and found that the only out of the box solution, Apache CXF would not
work, thanks to CXF's "MessageContext" abstraction.

I worked on a standalone solution that does not use basic JAAS contructs to
enable Kerberos for Grizzly, by simply enabling the Filter. I also have
general purpose interface definitions for Principal and SecurityContext
that are needed here.

I would really like to contribute back to Grizzly, and think this would be
a helpful addition for those who seek security over Grizzly, specially
enterprise users - this solution, in my understanding, doesn't exist, and
would help others from reinventing the wheel.

How do I go about contributing this? Is there an existing JIRA I cannot
find? Or shall I just create a new one? Appreciate any help.

Regards,
Saurabh
