[keycloak-dev] WildFly subsystem and demo
I've just tried out deploying the demo manually using the WildFly subsystem. It's
very cool and I really like how the WildFly subsystem has made things so much simpler.
Some comments though on my "experience" trying this out.
1. Having to edit standalone.xml to add secure-deployment requires restarting the server.
In installation tab we could have an additional option that lists the jboss-cli command to
add this at runtime
2. Customer portal error messages are horrible at best. First I forgot to deploy the
database services, which caused the exception "Unexpected character ('<'
(code 60)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true',
'false' or 'null')". This should have probably been something like
"Database services not found". Then I deployed database services, but used the
wrong WAR name in the secure-deployment and the error message was the same, but should
have been "Unauthorized".
3. Finally, it's not clear enough in the log output when the Keycloak sub-system acts
on a deployment and when it doesn't. We definitively need something along the lines
of:
INFO [org.keycloak.wildfly] Keycloak configured for 'customer-portal.war'
Could also be an idea to add (not sure if it should be info or debug):
DEBUG [org.keycloak.wildfly] Ignoring 'customer-portal.war'
