Allow Grizzly HttpServer to have configurable portRange

[glassfishrobot]

My use case is to simply start a GrizzlyHttpServer without knowing the port on which it will be bound, but by specifying a port range on which it should bind.

Today, here is what I'm forced to do:

HttpServer server = GrizzlyHttpServerFactory.createHttpServer(new URI("http://localhost/api"), config, false); NetworkListener grizzlyListener = server.getListener("grizzly");

// Set a range instead a single port Field portField = grizzlyListener.getClass().getDeclaredField("port");
portField.setAccessible(true);
portField.set(grizzlyListener, -1);
Field portRangeField = grizzlyListener.getClass().getDeclaredField("portRange");
portRangeField.setAccessible(true);
portRangeField.set(grizzlyListener, new PortRange(49152, 65535)); // low & high thanks to http://stackoverflow.com/a/2675399/535203 
server.start();

I think it should be easier if the port and portRange of grizzly NetworkListener fields were publicly settable.

Affected Versions

Perhaps one could introduce the portRange parameter in GrizzlyHttpServerFactory.createHttpServer(...) methods?
