[keycloak-dev] abstracting out picketlink

[Bill Burke]

I'm unsure yet if there will be performance problems.  It looks like you 
can define your own JPA entities and a separate "user" facing API and do 
a mapping between the JPA entities and your "user" facing API.  So you 
could create less overhead in the persistence layer, but there would be 
a lot of overhead in gong between JPA and the "user" facing API.
