Re: [keycloak-dev] User Federation Provider with JPA

shouldn't be the same having a separated JPA project in charge of talking with our legacy database? Eventually what about  entitymanager null pointer exception? do you have an idea? should the jpa project be part of an ejb project?thanks Il Lunedì 7 Settembre 2015 19:29, Scott Rossillo <srossillo(a)smartling.com&gt; ha scritto: We'll publish an example of how to do this soon, but I'd recommend writing an API based provider on your legacy system instead of using a direct database connection from Keycloak. Sorry, doesn't exactly answer your question but it's a more elegant solution.
