=== Summary
This project shows how Keycloak and Dropwizard can be used together. At the time I wrote this there was no open source integration of the two, so I set up this project.

http://keycloak.org[Keycloak^] provides a standalone OAuth 2.0 and Open ID Connect server. It handles user credentials for your application, so you can focus on business requirements.
http://dropwizard.io[Dropwizard^] is a Java framework for developing ops-friendly, high-performance, REST-ful web services.
The versions 1.0.x and 2.0.x of this project showed alternative ways to integrate Keycloak's client libraries with Dropwizard versions 1.x to 3.x. With Dropwizard version 4.x, Dropwizard upgraded from Java EE to Jakarta EE. As this would have required additional migration efforts which an unclear added value to users, those have been removed. They might be added in the future if there is co
=== How to use
The module keycloak-dropwizard
is a ready-to-use Dropwizard module.
The releases are available from Maven central.
The releases depend on a version of Dropwizard and Keycloak that was current at release time. To use a more recent release, please add them as an explicit dependency to your project, as this project will not release new versions on every minor or patch release of its dependencies.
As Keycloak removed some of its client adapters, the latest version of the Keycloak client libraries to use is 24.0.5.

=== Prerequisites
These examples need a local Keycloak instance with Realm test
and user demo
with password demo
.
Download the Keycloak distribution matching your keycloak-dropwizard-integration version from http://keycloak.org and extract it to a subfolder keycloak-server
of this directory.
Then call keycloak-server.bat
to import an already configured realm. Using this startup file the configuration will be reset every time you start Keycloak.
=== Parts
These examples will guide you through setting up Dropwizard and Keycloak in several configurations:
JAX-RS stateful server sessions + see https://github.com/ahus1/keycloak-dropwizard-integration/tree/master/keycloak-dropwizard-jaxrs-example[module keycloak-dropwizard-jaxrs-example^].
Bearer-Only REST services for Dropwizard + see https://github.com/ahus1/keycloak-dropwizard-integration/tree/master/keycloak-dropwizard-ajax-example[module keycloak-dropwizard-ajax-example^].
