In quickstart examples, we want people to put keycloak.json into the "config" directory of particular quickstart. Then during build, keycloak.json is copyied to src/main/webapp/WEB-INF. Is it good pattern to do it like this? Can't we just instruct people directly to put it into "WEB-INF" folder directly?

I personally found it a bit confusing as the adapter expects config in "WEB-INF" folder by default. People may do their own apps and create the "config/keycloak.json", but they they may forget to add the profile "json" to their pom.xml to copy the file at build time. Then they can see issues like "I have folder config and file keycloak.json in it. Why Keycloak doesn't secure my app?" etc.

But maybe it's just me? Marek _______________________________________________ keycloak-dev mailing list keycloak-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/keycloak-dev

I agree - we can just change the check for the profile to make sure keycloak.json is in WEB-INF rather than config. I'm sure there are loads of usability improvements we can do around the quickstarts, but now is not the right time. So create a JIRA for it.
