= Java Servlet Filter Adapter
If you want to use Keycloak with a Java servlet application that doesn't have an adapter for that servlet platform, you can opt to use the servlet filter adapter that Keycloak has.
This adapter works a little differently than the other adapters.
You do not define security constraints in web.xml.
Instead you define a filter mapping using the Keycloak servlet filter adapter to secure the url patterns you want to secure.
WARNING: Backchannel logout works a bit differently than the standard adapters.
Instead of invalidating the http session it instead marks the session id as logged out.
There's just no way of arbitrarily invalidating an http session based on a session id.

----
If you notice above, there are two url-patterns.
`/protected/*` are just the files we want protected. `/keycloak/*` url-pattern will handle callback from the keycloak server.
Note that you should configure your client in the Keycloak Admin Console with an Admin URL that points to a secured section covered by the filter's url-pattern.
The Admin URL will make callbacks to the Admin URL to do things like backchannel logout.
So, the Admin URL in this example should be `http[s]://hostname/{context-root}/keycloak`.
There is an example of this in the distribution.
The Keycloak filter has the same configuration parameters available as the other adapters except you must define them as filter init params instead of context params.
To use this filter, include this maven artifact in your WAR poms
