[keycloak-dev] Add resource type information to events handled by EventListenerProvider?

[Thomas Darimont]

Hi,

currently it is hard to figure out what actually happend when processing
events, since there
is no explicit information about the actual underlying resource in an
event. Currently one has to
parse the resourcePath of an AdminEvent to deduce the involved resource.

E.g. Creating a user yields:

AdminEvent#getOperationType(): CREATE
AdminEvent#getResourcePath(): users/edbabe12-528a-42cc-90cc-bbc66ebaa472

Assigning a client role to a user yields:

AdminEvent#getOperationType(): CREATE
AdminEvent#getResourcePath():
users/edbabe12-528a-42cc-90cc-bbc66ebaa472/role-mappings/clients/7f3af5dc-b68b-4bda-b5a3-89b6d827fb1e

Removing a client role from a user yields:
AdminEvent#getOperationType(): DELETE
AdminEvent#getResourcePath():
users/edbabe12-528a-42cc-90cc-bbc66ebaa472/role-mappings/clients/7f3af5dc-b68b-4bda-b5a3-89b6d827fb1e

It would be helpful if one had more information about the actual use case.

How about introducing an AdminEvent#getResourceType() method that returns
an enum value for the
resource in question, e.g. USER, ROLE, CLIENT, REALM, GROUP,
ROLE_ASSIGNMENT, CLIENT_ROLE_ASSIGNMENT, GROUP_ASSIGNMENT, etc.

This would make it easier detect what actually happend without having to
parse the resourcePath.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Thomas
