Hello Edgar,

I'd be also interesed in a way to do this.

Currently keycloak doesn't provide a mechanism to register additional rest
endpoints, however one could probably introduce a way to do so.
`org.keycloak.services.resources.KeycloakApplication.KeycloakApplication(ServletContext,
Dispatcher) ` seems to be the place where the major JAX-RS Resources are
registered.

I think this could be extended with an SPI to easily add custom Resources.
This resources could then use DI or manual Lookups to access the Keycloak
infrastructure.

Cheers,
Thomas
