[keycloak-user] Providers with CDI

[Stian Thorgersen]

No, there's no example for this, but you can look at the Keycloak source as we use JPA ourselves.

You have two options:

a) Shared EntityManager instance with internal Keycloak providers - if you're using the same db for both this is a good option
b) Separate EntityManager instance

For option a) you should look at extending the default connectionJpa provider to add your own persistence.xml (you need to copy/modify Keycloak's persistence.xml). Look at https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/tree/master/connections/jpa/src/main/java/org/keycloak/connections/jpa and https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/tree/master/model/jpa.

For option b) you can just have your ProviderFactory create the EntityManagerFactory and pass it to the Provider instance. For this you only need to look at https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/tree/master/connections/jpa/src/main/java/org/keycloak/connections/jpa.
