There’s definitely some challenges getting the classloaders to play nicely with each other. I ended up getting this to work by just adding the following one line to the properties used when creating the EntityManagerFactory… // Adding "hibernate.classLoaders" property is critical for this to work p.put("hibernate.classLoaders", Arrays.asList(this.getClass().getClassLoader())); … emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("acmeEntities", p); Thanks, Anthony From: Stian Thorgersen [mailto:sthorger@redhat.com] Sent: Wednesday, 6 April 2016 8:56 PM To: Anthony Fryer Cc: keycloak-user (keycloak-user(a)lists.jboss.org) Subject: Re: [keycloak-user] Issue creating EntityManagerFactory from custom UserFederationProviderFactory It's not very easy to get Persistence to pick-up the persistence.xml file from a module. We've got a fix for this coming in 1.9.2, but you can just copy/paste the lines from https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/master/model/jpa/src/main/java/.... It uses Hibernate classes directly to create the EntityManagerFactory which allows specifying the classloader. Just use the classloader for your UserFederationProviderFactory implementation.

I have packaged up a persistence.xml in the META-INF folder of the SPI jar file and deployed this as a module to the keycloak standalone server. My module.xml looks like this… <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.3" name="acme.keycloak-acme-user-federation"> <resources> <resource-root path="keycloak-acme-user-federation-1.0.0.jar"> <filter> <include path="META-INF/**"/> </filter> </resource-root> </resources> <dependencies> <module name="org.keycloak.keycloak-core"/> <module name="org.keycloak.keycloak-server-spi"/> <module name="javax.api"/> <module name="javaee.api"/> <module name="org.hibernate" /> <module name="org.jboss.ws.cxf.jbossws-cxf-client"/> </dependencies> </module> In my UserFederationProviderFactory I have a method like this… private EntityManagerFactory getEntityManagerFactory(UserFederationProviderModel model) { if (emf == null) { logger.trace("Creating entityManagerFactory..."); Map<String, String> config = model.getConfig(); Properties p = new Properties(); // for now just use hibernate built in connection factory p.put("hibernate.connection.driver_class", config.get(DATABASE_DRIVER_CLASS_NAME)); p.put("hibernate.connection.url", config.get(DATABASE_URL)); p.put("hibernate.connection.username", config.get(DATABASE_USER)); p.put("hibernate.connection.password", config.get(DATABASE_PASSWORD)); p.put("hibernate.show_sql", "true"); p.put("hibernate.format_sql", "true"); emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("acmeEntities", p); } return emf; } When this method is called, it always returns the error “No Persistence provider for EntityManager named acmeEntities”. I’m 90% sure this is to do with the ClassLoader being used by Persistence not being able to see the META-INF/persistence.xml packaged up in the keycloak-acme-user-federation-1.0.0.jar. Does anyone have an idea what I need to do to my module configuration to get this working?
